Consumer Affairs ranked Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport fifth-best for avoiding major flight disruptions after analyzing federal flight data from 122 airports, Atlanta News First reported on Oct. 30. About 1.24% of ATL's scheduled departures are canceled, about 20.21% leave with a moderate delay of 15 minutes to three hours and 1.25% have severe delays of more than three hours, according to the study. Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle-Tacoma and Salt Lake City took the top four spots.
