Usually at this time
78%
of MKE departures left on time on a typical Monday, across 4,502 flights. Monday evening is one of MKE's rougher stretches historically.
Historical departure punctuality from U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, June 2025 – May 2026. This is a separate measurement from anything above: the FAA's delay figures describe traffic-management actions taken today, and averaging the two together would produce a number that means nothing. A ground stop is still a ground stop on an airport's best weekday.
Flying out soon?
