What shapes JetBlue Airways' record
JetBlue's record changes sharply by airport. Its flights from Los Angeles (LAX) ran 23.4% late, against 30.7% from Orlando (MCO) (airports with at least 5,000 JetBlue departures).
Delays peak in July (37.2%) and are lowest in November (21.2%).
BTS reports each flight under the carrier that operated it. Flights flown by regional partners such as SkyWest, Republic, Envoy, PSA and Endeavor are reported under those operators, so this is the record of JetBlue's own aircraft and crews.
