86.7% On-Time: Aeromexico Leads Global Airline Punctuality in 2024

In 2024, global air travel demand soared, with revenue-passenger miles up nearly 11% from the previous year. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) predicts a 4.6% increase in aircraft departures for 2025, reaching 40 million. Despite challenges like aircraft shortages and financial issues, airlines managed to maintain better punctuality. Cirium, an aviation data firm, ranked airlines based on on-time arrivals within 15 minutes of schedule. Aeromexico led with an 86.7% on-time rate, followed by Saudia Airlines at 86.35% and Delta Air Lines at 83.46%. Other notable performers included LATAM Airlines (82.89%), Qatar Airways (82.83%), and Azul Airlines (82.42%). In North America, Delta topped the list despite a significant outage in July. No airline achieved over 90% on-time arrivals, highlighting the industry’s ongoing challenges.
