Ever wonder which airlines are most likely to arrive at destinations on time? The results are in from air travel data company OAG and they’ve ranked the world’s most punctual airlines.
The biannual list includes 125 airlines from all over the world and constitutes “on-time” as a flight that lands no later than 15 minutes after the scheduled arrival time. Data collected was from flights that took place between June 2018 and May 2019.
The world’s top on-time airline is Garuda Indonesia, the national airline of Indonesia, which arrived on time 91.6 percent of the time. Second place went to Fuji Dream Airlines, followed by Copa Airlines (Panama).
In the United States, the top-ranking airline was Hawaiian Airlines with an on-time arrival percentage of 87.8 percent and an award of five stars. Rounding out the top five were Delta Airlines (83.4 percent), Alaska Airlines (80.7 percent), Spirit Airlines (80.4 percent) and Cape Air (79.9 percent).
The largest jump in the rankings also went to Cape Air, which moved from 11th place in 2018 to fifth place in 2019. Based in Massachusetts, the airline serves Boston and Cape Cod, as well as regional flights in the Caribbean, Midwest and Montana.
