Europe’s Top 10 Punctual Airlines and their OTP

According to OAG, flights that arrive or depart within 15 minutes of their planned arrival or departure schedules are considered to be operating on-time (OTP). Flight cancellations are counted as late flights in the OTP calculations. The 250 largest international airlines, as determined by the annual Available Seat Kilometres (ASKs), are examined for the report. Only scheduled passenger flights may be included in airline OTP estimates, which are based on operating carrier codes. Only data from arrivals is used to calculate airline OTP. Here is a list of Europe’s Top 10 Punctual Airlines and their OTP.
