The battle continues in Japan, with each showing excellence in on-time performance. Like JAL last month, this month ANA squeaked past JAL by less than a point. Point of Pride in APACĪNA recovered its lead over JAL in September, taking this month’s title back from JAL.

They’re only some two points off and nipping at both Aeroflot and LATAM’s heels. While in August, Delta was more than six points off of LATAM, the Atlanta-based carried caught up. In September, Aeroflot, LATAM and Delta were the top performers globally. This month, several airlines did not make the cut to enter the race because they simply did not fly enough, globally. It had been some time since Cirium had done so. In August, Cirium re-initiated its coverage of the global airline category - pitting the airlines of the world against each other. It’s old hat for the US carriers, however, who cancel flights long in advance to avoid stranding passengers. Hurricane Ida hit the Eastern seaboard in late August and early September. However, September is also well-known for actual storms - from tropical storms to hurricanes - which cause mass flight cancellations and delays. The airlines of the world wait with baited breath for the late November, December-January holiday bump. The kids are back at school and summer holiday travel is a distant memory. September represents a “calm before the storm”, at least in the airline industry. to Europe and vice versa.) Hopefully, the Transportation Security Administration lines at airports across America are not too long, and the flights leave right on time. We’ll see what the Thanksgiving holiday brings to the U.S., the world’s largest airline market. The top European airport was Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) the top U.S. In Latin America, COPA, Aerolineas Argentinas and LATAM took top honors, and in the Middle East and Africa, Safair, Royal Air Maroc and Royal Jordanian were top of the table.Īmong the LCCs, no major changes on the leaderboard, with Thai AirAsia, StarFlyer and Safair running the show, with Thai AirAsia bumping Star Flyer by a hair.Īs for the airports, who welcomed the airlines of the world, Haneda was top of the table, followed closely by Sheremetyevo (SVO) and Beijing Capital Airport (PEK). It’s a repeat of last month, but each carrier had slight downturns in operational performance in October. In APAC, ANA edged out JAL in this epic battle for operational performance in APAC. This month they were 74.08% on time, but at least they’re on the board. The New York-carrier has lagged in operational performance in 2021 but October was improved. JetBlue had a better performing month than in the past. In North America, Spirit Airlines appears to have mastered consistency this fall - with a similar performance in October compared to September but now 4th in the table, moving up from 6th. Europe was a well-oiled machine in October. Last month’s top performer, Norwegian, dropped from 1st to 7th despite a strong performance that would be the envy of many airlines of the world. The region itself was tops in the world, with many carriers being above 90%. In Europe, Vueling, Aeroflot and Austrian were the top performers, with Vueling at 93.31. Indeed, even with the end-of-month cancellations faced by the airline, American maintained 82.91% of its flights on time. United, Qatar, Air France and American were neck and neck in the low 80s. On the network front, Aeroflot outperformed both LATAM and Delta Airlines - while the latter still managed an excellent 88.45% on some 131,380 flights flown in the month. Nevertheless, there are always winners in every climate in On-Time Performance. Neither will show up as top performer in the October On-Time Performance report, but these cases showed just how quickly weather and now staffing shortages can ripple through airlines just as they are seeking to maximize fall revenue within exceedingly slim operational margins. Each airline cancelled thousands of flights and made the nightly news because of it. It was a tough month for several airlines - particularly for Southwest Airlines and American Airlines in the U.S. October 2021 Rough October skies for some U.S.
