This Is The Most Punctual Airline In The North America

These are the top North American airlines for on-time performance.

FAA Awards Nearly $1 Billion To 99 Airports

Airlines assist us in getting to most destinations on time, delays this time are brought on by external factors like air and road traffic. The best on-time performance is still held by a few carriers, though. The best airlines that keep their word to customers are listed below. Starts at the top of the list with major airline of United States Delta at Top.

After being dethroned by Alaska in July, Delta (DL), with an increase to their OTP (83.68%), is once again in the lead for the North America Mainline category this month (AS). The regular OTP leaders in this area have been playing catch-up with one another all year, but Frontier (F9) has been quietly making appearances in the top 5 for the past three months. For the past six months, WestJet (WS) has consistently ranked among the top 5 in the Network category.

Operational efficiency is improving on a global scale. North America, however, continues to be unaffected by the summertime operating challenges that the rest of the world is facing, as was noted last month. The top three finishers in the Global Mainline category this month were Delta Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and United Airlines, highlighting the region’s ongoing resiliency, power, and operational excellence.

PIA Reinstates Manchester and Paris Routes After EU Ban Lift

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced plans to resume flights to Europe starting in January, beginning with Paris as its first destination.

The decision follows the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) removal of a long-standing ban on the airline. PIA’s inaugural flight to Paris is scheduled for January 10, with bookings opening on December 9.

In an official statement, PIA spokesperson Abdullah Hafeez Khan confirmed that the first flight schedule has been approved, marking a significant milestone in the airline’s recovery efforts. The EU ban had previously cost PIA approximately Rs40 billion ($144 million) annually in lost revenue, compounding its financial struggles.

With European operations restarting, PIA is now setting its sights on the United Kingdom. The airline plans to seek approval from the UK Department for Transport (DfT) to resume flights to major British cities such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham.

By restoring flights to Europe and aiming for UK destinations, PIA is taking critical steps toward recovering lost ground and improving its financial outlook.
