We analyzed last month&#8217;s punctuality leaderboard in order to get a better sense of what carriers are leading the charge. We analyze data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oag.com\/blog\/november-on-time-performance-otp-results\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" >OAG<\/a> on On-Time Performance (OTP) in <span class=\"display-card-hyperlink display-card-hyperlink-no-vignette\" data-id=\"186833\"style=\";  ;\" class=\"display-card-hyperlink display-card-hyperlink-no-vignette\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/tag\/november\/\"  >November<\/a><\/span> 2025, and find that the best individual airline performers were Hainan Airlines, China Southern Airlines, and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). OTP is defined by most industry analysts using actual gate-arrival times, counting a flight as on time only when it reaches the gate within 15 minutes of its scheduled arrival time, all while cancellations are treated as not on time. These rules make the results more than just interesting facts as they compress thousands of daily operational decisions, including scheduling, staffing, maintenance, and disruption recovery, into a single, comparable score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some carriers really just rise to the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[396,476,1094,1003,6103,423],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-339139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aircraft","category-airlines","category-delays","category-legacy-carriers","category-on-time-performance","category-united-states"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.9 -
