Interesting interactive graphic about on-time performance of Canadian airlines: Stuck at the Gate: Which Canadian Airlines Will Get You There On Time? - The 10 and 3

What I don't understand is how a small player like Sunwing can stay afloat with 63% on time performance, in such a competitive industry. Why are people still flying with them?

Sunwing is a charter. You try getting a plane full of hungover yutzes from Thunder Bay onto a plane in Cancun at 7AM.
