A report released Tuesday shows 70 percent of SkyWest’s 105 flights were on time or less than 15 minutes late in the month of January.

In comparison, 69 percent of flights were on time last month.

Of the 27 flights that were delayed, 20 were 15 to 44 minutes late, one was 75 to 104 minutes late and six were 105 minutes or later. Three flights were also canceled in January.

Twenty of the delayed flights were before the 15th of the month, when cold air and wintry weather hit the Hays area. All of the flights that were canceled were before mid-month, as well.

SkyWest recently changed the flight schedule at the Hays Regional Airport in order to accommodate its switch to an all-jet fleet.
