American airlines  meaning airlines in the United States, not the airline company  are the least punctual in the world. That’s according to a study published by OAG, a company that provides global aviation flight schedules.

Of the top 20 punctual airlines, 13 are based in Europe and five in Asia. Just two are from the United States: Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines.
