The Airline Quality Rating (AQR) is a joint research project funded as part of faculty research activities at Wichita State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University since 2014. Previous reports from 1991 to 2013 The Airline Quality Rating Reports were published through a joint research project between Purdue University and Wichita State University.
The AQRis a summary of month-by-month quality ratings for U.S. airlines that have at least 1% of domestic passenger volume. Using the AQR system of weighted averages and monthly performance data in the areas of on-time arrivals, involuntary denied boardings, mishandled baggage, and a combination of 12 customer complaint categories, airlines' comparative performance for the calendar year is reported. The research monograph contains a brief summary of the AQR methodology, detailed data and charts that track comparative quality for domestic airline operations and overall industry results.
