European ontime perfomance

[usfan]

Recently was checking Eoropean ontime perfomance .
AMS so far had only one delay this month and only caused by late arrival of a/c .
Last month only 2 delays . How do they do it ???? Everybody struggeling but AMS seems to have no delays at all ....
Does somebody knows their secret ???

Not sure where you got your data but...

According to flightstats.com, today alone they've had only a 75% ontime rate with about 160 of 660 thus far delayed. 113 from 15-30 min, 25 from 30-40 min and 31 delayed 45+ minutes.

If you have ever been to the Netherlands and Amsterdam in particular you will find that those who live there are not pot heads as your joke implies.

In fact the locals call the tourist that come to smoke legally..."freaks and geeks" and the majority are Americans on vacation. (probably flew US Airways.

160 of 660 thus far delayed.

US only has 1 a day though. That is what he was asking about I believe, not KLM or any other carrier. US in AMS vs US in all other European cities.

I flew the AMS-PHL flight on the day we changed over with systems. We pushed 10 min. early with nearly a full flight. Forget what day it was,Sun.or Mon. Arriving in PHL, then trying to get home, forget about it. The AMS crew are a mix of US and contract. They get the job done.

Ok - that makes more sense. But how does US ontime performacne at AMS compare with other Euro destinations? I think, by and large, the European flights are pretty much on time. Probably because they don't suffer as much from the ripple effect that delays a 3pm flight because it's prior 4 legs of the day were all delayed for one reason or another.
