Skift Take
Punctuality is an aspect of the flight experience that really matters both to the passenger and airlines' bottom lines.
The airlines with the best average on-time performance skewed toward Europe for 2014, as 13 of the top 20 airlines tracked are based in Europe, five are in Asia-Pacific and two are in the U.S.
airBaltic, the Latvian low cost carrier, had the best overall on-time performance in 2014 (94.9%) for all airlines tracked by OAG, an aviation data service, in its new report. airBaltic had the best on-time performance for all low cost airlines in October as well, and also had the best on-time performance for all European carriers for the year. Many of the overall rankings for last year mirror those from the last few months of the year.
For the Asia-Pacific region, Japan Airlines had the best on-time performance for the year and ranked in the top 5 for all airlines for November.
