Traveling can be a very stressful experience. From feeling like you forgot to pack something important to dealing with uncontrollable weather conditions, there are plenty of variables that can turn any travel plans into a complete headache. While there are countless factors to consider when traveling, the one most people account for is a problem with their airport or airline. Many airports are notorious for their long lines to get through security and flight delays, often with little to no explanation. However, while many reports often emphasize the airports and airlines that are doing poorly, Cirium's On-Time Performance Review 2019 highlights the world's best-performing airlines and airports for on-time flight operations. Circium's review is designed to raise the benchmark by encouraging airlines and airports to invest, ensuring they operate on-time and provide their customers with a best-in-class travel experience, both in the air and on the ground. "Airlines and airports which consistently operate on-time and go that extra mile for their customers deserve to be recognized in an increasingly competitive environment and should be justifiably proud of reaching such a world-class industry standard," Cirium CEO Jeremy Bowen said in a statement. With this in mind, explore our slideshow above to see the world's most punctual airlines, according to Cirium. Related: |
