Aeromexico has emerged as the most punctual global airline in 2024, according to a report by aviation analytics firm Cirium. The airline achieved an impressive on-time arrival rate of 86.7%, with 86.7% of its flights arriving within 15 minutes of scheduled arrival times.
This result was deemed “absolutely” surprising by Cirium CEO Jeremy Bowen, who attributed Aeromexico’s success to the company culture, investment in new equipment, and a strong relationship with its hub at Mexico City International Airport. The airport ranked fourth for on-time flights among global airports in Cirium’s report.
Aeromexico’s ascent to the top spot marks a significant improvement from its previous ranking of outside the top 10. This achievement underscores the airline’s commitment to operational excellence and its ability to work effectively as a team with its hub.
The report also highlighted several regional airlines that delivered impressive on-time performance, including Safair (South Africa) at 93.82%, Oman Air at 90.27%, and Copa Airlines (Panama) at 88.22%. In Europe, Iberia Express and Iberia ranked among the top performers.
Overall, on-time flight arrivals dropped by 0.5% in 2024 compared to the previous year, with several factors contributing to this trend, including software updates and abnormal weather conditions.
