Global aviation database and analytics company OAG published its “Punctuality League 2023” report on Tuesday, ranking both airlines and airports around the world in terms of their On-Time Performance (OTP) during last year. And a South African airline was ranked second in the world for its OTP: FlySafair (although the report calls it Safair, after its parent company). FlySafair achieved an OTP of 95.3%, second only to Garuda Indonesia’s 95.63%. There were no other African airlines within the Top 20. There was also only one US carrier in this group, Delta Air Lines, ranked 17th, with an OTP of 81.79%. On the other hand, the list contained seven Asian and six Latin American airlines. The list was rounded out by three European and two Middle Eastern carriers.
