Panama’s Copa Airlines SA has been crowned 2018’s most punctual carrier in a global survey according to Bloomberg. Quoting OAG Aviation Worldwide Ltd, Bloomberg further states that Latvia’s Air Baltic ranked second among airlines arriving or departing within 15 minutes of scheduled times. Hong Kong Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Bangkok Airways rounded out the top five. But among major U.S. carriers, Delta Air Lines Inc. was the only one to make it into the top 20.
Among mega airports ranked by OAG — those catering to more than 30 million airline seats — Tokyo’s Haneda topped the list for the best on-time performance last year. The ranking is based on the proportion of flights at each airport that arrive and leave within 15 minutes of scheduled times.
Atlanta has become the second. Singapore, Denver and Los Angeles airports have become number three, four and fifth respectively. bmd
