Performance Summary:

2015 Versus 2014

1. On-Time Gate Arrivals have a Gate Arrival Delay of less than 15 minutes. The Gate Arrival Delay is the difference between the Actual 

Gate In time and the Scheduled Gate In time, in minutes.

2. On-Time Gate Departures have a Gate Departure Delay of less than 15 minutes. The Gate Departure Delay is the difference between 

the Actual Gate Out time and the Scheduled Gate Outtime, in minutes.

3. The Airport Departure Delay is the Actual Wheels Off minus the Scheduled Gate Out plus the Unimpeded Taxi Out time in minutes.

4. The Actual Operations are the efficiency counts from ASPM.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, all metrics are based on weekdays only, including holidays. All delay (and on-time) metrics are 

based only on flights with full (AZ and DZ) records; i.e., flights that are counted as an ASPM Operation for Metric Computation. Source: ASPM
