ConsumerAffairs said DCA led large U.S. airports in cancellations at 2.8% and had more last-flight cancellations than any other major airport.
- Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport ranked as the least reliable major airport in the country, according to a ConsumerAffairs report released this year.
- The ConsumerAffairs report utilized Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Transportation data to evaluate cancellation, diversion, and delay rates across major U.S. airports.
- DCA leads the nation with a 2.8% cancellation rate and cancels its final daily flight more frequently than any other large airport in the country.
- Nearly half of DCA's delays are caused by flights arriving late, exceeding the delay-attribution rate at any of the five worst-performing major airports.
- Western U.S. hubs dominate the top 10 most reliable airports, while the Northeast hosts many of the lowest-ranked facilities, with Los Angeles International leading in same-day recovery options.
