Although the US is home to some of the world’s best airports, they are frequently criticized for flight delays. In a recent ranking by AirHelp, a global passenger assistance company, nearly 250 airports across 68 countries were evaluated. Surprisingly, only one airport in the USA managed to secure a spot in the global top 10.

Salt Lake City Airport secured the 8th spot on the list of the world’s most on-time airports. It earned a respectable score of 8.29 out of 10 for its on-time operations and customer service.

Most On Time Airports in USA

Apart from Salt Lake City, several other airports in USA have also been recognized for their on-time performance. Los Angles International Airport ranks as the second most punctual USA (21st globally), followed by Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport in third place (22nd globally). Despite being one of the busiest airports in the world, Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport secured the fourth spot (36th globally).

Portland, Nashville and Chicago Midway rank as the fifth (37th globally), sixth (38th globally) and seventh (41st globally) most on-time airports in the United States. Austin Bergstrom Airport, Houston William P. Hobby Airport, and Honolulu Daniel K Inouye Airports round out the list of most on time airports in USA, taking the eighth (48th global), ninth (49th global), and tenth (51st global) positions.

How did AirHelp rank most on-time airports in the world?

AirHelp uses its internal flight data and passenger feedback to rank the best airports in the world. The data was collected from June 2024 to May 2025. Each airport was given a score out of 10. The score was based on three main factors.

On-time performance had the highest weight at 60%. Customer service, which includes wait times, staff behavior, cleanliness, and accessibility, made up 20%. The remaining 20% was based on food and shopping options available at the airport.

According to a frequent flyer with Indian Eagle travel, factors such as baggage handling, ground operations and inadequate staffing affect the on-time performance of airports. Better punctuality can reduce travel stress and help avoid missed connections.
