Which airline is most on time from SAV to PHL?
PSA, with a season-adjusted 80% chance of operating and arriving on time over 683 flights. The adjustment compares each airline with what the route did in the months it flew, so a carrier that skipped a stormy month gets no free credit.

July (62% on time); the best was January (88%), averaged over Jun 2023 to May 2026.
Is this a prediction for my flight?
