Flybe has secured the top spot for on-time performance for the second year running.
A Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) punctuality statistics report for 2015 showed the regional carrier outperformed its industry rivals.
The recently published report places Flybe in top spot for airlines which operate over 30,000 flights a year, with 84 per cent of its flights recorded as being on time, ahead of Ryanair (82.1%), British Airways (72.7%) and Easyjet (71.7%).
The report analysed airline performance from arrival and departure data provided by the CAA’s 25 UK reporting airports for airline’s on-time performance (defined by a less than 15 minute delay).
Flybe chief operating officer Luke Farajallah said: “We recognise that on-time performance is a critically defining factor when it comes to choosing which airline to fly with.
“Not only has Flybe yet again placed in pole position against other airlines, but most pleasingly these independent statistics indicate we have improved on last year’s performance, bucking the industry trend.”
