Which airline is most on time from TPA to FLL?
JetBlue, with a season-adjusted 85% chance of operating and arriving on time over 188 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.

March (70% on time); the best was November (89%), averaged over Jun 2023 to May 2026.
Is this a prediction for my flight?
No. These are historical odds from the US DOT on-time reports, FAA advisories and airport weather records. Check your flight status and the FAA delay board on the day you fly.
