Veterans Day 2023 flight delays: press kit

Veterans Day 2023 ran close to the weeks around it: 89.1% of flights arrived on time against 86.5%, delayed flights averaged 58 minutes late against 61, and 0.11% were cancelled against 0.19%. None of those gaps is large enough to call a holiday effect, so the holiday's crowds did not show up in the punctuality figures.
