A new study shared by the University at Buffalo explores how airlines can stick to their schedules a little better.

UB Operations Management and Strategy professor Milind Sohoni collaborated with professors at Michigan State University and the University of North Carolina on the study, which took a look at airlines’ on-time performance.

The professors studied 11 years of flights spanning 2005 through 2015, and looked at factors like schedule padding and operational changes.
