Question: Which airlines experience the highest number of delays?

The dataset, covering 2018–2023, provides information on scheduled and actual arrival and departure times. Data was gathered from Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The charts represent a random sample of 50,000 entries from the original data.

The charts compare the average departure and arrival delays across multiple airlines. Airlines such as NK (Spirit Airlines) and UA (United Airlines) presents the highest delays for both departures and arrivals, while HA (Hawaiian Airlines) consistently show the lowest delays.
