Ten airlines lead the list of the most punctual in the world in 2023, according to a study conducted by the international consultancy firm Cirium, one of the oldest reports in the sector.
The report indicates that the airline industry experienced a significant recovery last year after the hard hit caused by the pandemic.
“In 2023, the sector experienced significant growth, with more than 32 million scheduled flights. This growth, combined with increased seat capacity, underlines the expansion of the sector,” the report indicates.
Cirium highlights that this good performance is mainly driven by the European and US markets.
“Demand, however, has come with its own set of challenges, including growing competition and rising operating costs. Business travel, a key segment for the industry, has continued to slow due to ongoing management of costs and a growing attention to sustainability in company policies,” highlights the report.
To determine the most punctual airlines in 2023, the international consultancy examines more than 35 million flights per year, including schedules and fleets. The report considers on-time arrival within 14 minutes and 59 seconds of scheduled arrival.
