Aeromexico tracked 99.95 percent of its total 15,206 flights with 91.69 percent of its flights departing on time.

“Occupying the top position worldwide is truly inspiring, and it is possible thanks to the enormous effort of the best talent in the industry behind every takeoff and landing,” said Andres Conesa, CEO, Aeromexico.

In Europe, Austrian Airlines took the top spot, while Safair leads both the Middle East and Africa region, as well as the Low-Cost Carrier category for highest on-time performance in early 2024.

In Asia, Singapore Airlines came in the top spot with 84.12 percent of its flights on time. ANA followed closely behind in second with an on-time performance of 82.85 percent. And Copa Airlines took the top spot in Latin America with an impressive 91.66 on-time performance.

  1. Aeromexico
  2. Delta Air Lines
  3. Iberia
  4. United Airlines
  5. Azul
