The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Bureau of Transportation Statistics tracks the on-time performance of domestic flights operated by large air carriers. Summary information on the number of on-time, delayed, canceled, and diverted flights is published in DOT's monthly Air Travel Consumer Report and in this dataset of 2015 flight delays and cancellations. Data can be found on Kaggle https://www.kaggle.com/usdot/flight-delays.
Some interesting facts
- Most of the flights (about 17.8%) came from Atlanta International airport.

- July seemed to be the busiest month for flights.
- Thursday seemed to have the most flights (weird one I thought it would be a weekend day)
