Latest FAA statistics confirm that air travel has reached a new low. In the first third of 2007, over one-quarter of flights within the U.S. were late on arrival, and almost 70,000 flights were canceled. And this despite many airlines padding their arrival times to give them a generous cushion against delays.

Nearly half of the delays were weather-related, including the Denver snowstorm debacle that sent JetBlue's (NASDAQ: JBLU) reputation for customer service plummeting. Even in April, after the weather improved, JetBlue was second only to US Airways in lowest on-time arrivals, at 64.8%. Comair joined the tardy trio with 67.9% on-time arrivals.

If you woke up this morning expecting to take a trip on JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ: JBLU) you may want to double check your flight before heading off to the airport. The airline announced that 215 flights have been canceled due to stormy weather forecast.

The hardest hit hub was New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport where over 200 planned flights were canceled. This comprises a little over one-third of all JetBlue flights scheduled for the day.

JetBlue thinks that canceling these flights will avoid the problems it had faced back on Feb. 14th when hundreds of passengers got stuck for long periods of time (some over 10 hours) on parked planes at Kennedy airport.
