If you’ve flown out of Denver International Airport and your flight was delayed, you’re definitely not alone!

The Bureau of Transportation released a list of major airports’ on-time departure percentages, ranking 30 major airports across the United States by the most and least on-time departure performances year to date, between June 1 and June 30, 2025.

DIA was listed as one of the lowest for on-time departures over the month of June. Only 73.34% of flights were on time, meaning more than a quarter of all flights in Denver were delayed!

Denver ranked as the bottom third airport with the least number of on-time departures in June. Only Washington, DC (DCA) and Dallas/Fort Worth, TX (DFW) had worse on0time percentages.

Salt Lake City, UT (SLC) had the best percentage of on-time flights at 83.94%.
