Spanish carriers Iberia and Iberia Express have been named the most punctual airlines in Europe in 2024, taking the two highest rankings in an industrywide survey published for the year.

According to data analytics organization, Cirium, Iberia Express was the most punctual airline in Europe in 2024 with an arrival punctuality rate of 84.69%, which also made it the most punctual low-cost airline in the world in 2024. According to Cirium’s On-Time Performance Report for 2024, Iberia was the second most punctual airline in Europe, with a total of 183,268 flights and 81.58% of flights arriving on time at their destinations. This made the carrier the world’s eighth most punctual carrier overall.  

According to a statement issued by Iberia, these figures are “particularly noteworthy given the complex challenges faced by aviation this year, such as regulations in European airspace, congestion at some of the airports served by both airlines, labor disputes at some air traffic control centers and the global shortage of spare parts.”
