A research study whose results were published on Monday shows that the September 11 terrorist attacks had positive effects on airline services. A report regarding service quality classification indicates that service delivery has improved because the airline industry severely declined following the terrorist attacks. For example, airlines' on-time arrival service is now seven percent better. The research report shows that overall, 10 out of 11 major U.S. airlines provided better services in 2001 compared to 2000. Among these companies, Alaska Airlines topped the list, followed by U.S. Airways in second place and Northwest Airlines in third. Conversely, flights are delayed due to heightened security measures at airports, and passengers are inevitably faced with long lines at security checkpoints.
