Vietnam Airlines Ranks Among Top Five Punctual Carriers in Asia-Pacific for April
The national airline's on-time performance improves, securing a notable position in regional rankings.
Vietnam Airlines has been recognized as one of the top five most punctual airlines in the Asia-Pacific region for April, according to the latest report from Cirium, a leading aviation analytics firm. The national carrier achieved an on-time performance (OTP) of 81.85% across 11,108 flights during the month, marking a nearly three-point improvement from March's 78.98%.
Japan Airlines led the regional list with an OTP of 88.17%, followed by ANA with 87.21%. Malaysian airline AirAsia and Japanese carrier Peach Aviation also featured in the top spots, securing third and fourth places respectively.
The report noted a 20% increase in flight cancellations across the region in April, totaling 33,592 compared to 27,821 in March. This rise in cancellations contributed to an overall improvement in OTP as airlines and airports capitalized on reduced operations to enhance punctuality.
Globally, Aeromexico reclaimed its position as the leader in punctuality with an OTP of 88.83% in April. Earlier in January, Vietnam Airlines was also listed among the top 10 most punctual airlines in the Asia-Pacific region for 2023 by Cirium.
Within Vietnam, Bamboo Airways led in punctuality with an OTP rate of 92.5%, followed by VASCO at 92%. Vietnam Airlines was third with an OTP of 86.9%, as reported by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam for 2023.
OTP, as defined by Cirium, considers flights that arrive or depart within 15 minutes of their scheduled times as on-time. This metric is a crucial indicator of operational efficiency and customer service for airlines worldwide.
