OAG and punctuality
Luton-based OAG, the air travel data supplier, has been quick to announce the results of the airline/airport punctuality league for 2015.
Latvian airline airBaltic once again leads the airline rankings, with an average OTP (on time performance) rating of 94.39%, followed by Panama’s Copa Airlines (91.69%) and Brazil’s low-cost carrier (LCC) Azul (91.03%) in third place – which places it as the leading LCC for OTP.
Japan dominates the airport categories, with Osaka Itami Airport (93.85%) rated as the ‘Best Small Airport’ and Tokyo Haneda Airport (91.25%) as the ‘Best Large Airport’. The ‘Best Medium Airport’ category is led by Copenhagen (88.53%) followed by Moscow Sheremetyevo International Airport (88.48%) and Helsinki (88.43%).
These figures are garnered from a database of more than 50 million flight records, and incorporating data from OAG’s flight-view flight status database.
