Aeromexico on top in on-time arrivals
Mexican airline Aeromexico had the world’s best record for on-time arrivals in 2024, according to an annual ranking released Thursday.
Delta Air Lines scored the highest among U.S. carriers despite a computer outage after a faulty upgrade by cybersecurity provider CrowdStrike that caused thousands of flight cancellations in July.
Aviation-data provider Cirium said nearly 87% of Aeromexico flights arrived within 15 minutes of their scheduled arrival, a widely used measure of on-time performance among airlines.
Saudia, the flagship carrier of Saudi Arabia, ranked second worldwide, with an on-time rate of just over 86%, according to Cirium, which has rated airlines for timeliness for 16 years. — Associated Press
