问题                       New Travel Statistics Released
U.S. airline passengers last year arrived late to their destinations and lost their luggage more often than passengers in previous years, yet complained less frequently, according to statistics released last Friday by the U.S. Department of Air Transportation.
According to the department’s report, 75 percent of all passenger airplanes last year failed to arrive on time. Airplanes the previous year had a 77 percent on-time arrival rate. Additionally, there were 6.7 reports of lost or damaged baggage for every 1,000 passengers, up from 6.6 reports per 1,000 the previous year. That statistic has risen steadily since 2002.
Among national carriers, Colorado Airlines and SkyClear Air had the lowest rates of mishandled baggage, while Northeast Atlantic and BTB Airlines reported the highest. The report also found that Colorado and Limitless Air had the highest on-time arrival rates, while the lowest were recorded by JetHigh Air and Skyward Air.
