Published last weekend, the report examines airlines whose flights depart within the well-known "slot" of less than 15 minutes of the specified departure time.
#1: Aeromexico with 90.02%
#2: Saudia with 86.53% Accuracy
#3: SAS with 86.09%
#4: Azal with 85.18%
#5: Qatar Airways with 85.18%
#6: Iberia with 83.52%
#7: LATAM with 82.40%
#8: Avianca with 81.73%
#9: Turkish Airlines with 81.41%
#10: Delta Air Lines with 80.90%
Aeromexico, the most punctual airline in 2025, also ranked first last year, while SAS won the title of the most punctual airline in Europe.
This is not particularly new information for the company, as it also receives similar titles in monthly indexes. However, in the global index, this is an impressive leap forward after only reaching eighth place last year.
The most punctual American airline, ranked only tenth in the global index, is Delta Air Lines. The other US airline giants, United and American Airlines, did not make it on the list of the ten most punctual companies.
