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 percent of flights were on time, meaning more than a quarter of all flights in Denver were delayed!

Denver ranked as the third worst airport, with the least number of on-time departures in June. Only Washington, DC, and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, had worse on-time percentages.

Salt Lake City, Utah, had the best percentage of on-time flights at 83.94 percent.
