SA's Largest airports amongst top tier in Global Punctuality League
Global Aviator
|February 2020
Despite considerable upheaval in the local aviation sector in 2019, South Africa’s three largest airports managed to remain in the top tiers of global on-time performance with rankings of second, ninth and tenth in their respective categories.
-
The annual Punctuality League tables published by OAG, a global travel data firm, rank several hundred airports and airlines operating in all parts of the world. The tables are based on 57.7-million flight records using full-year data from 2019 to create a ranking of the best on-time performance for the world’s largest airlines and airports.
Deon Cloete, Acting Group Executive: Airports Management at Airports Company South Africa, says punctuality is a key indicator of operational efficiency.
“The importance of punctuality and efficiency extends well beyond being items on a business performance scorecard. They are the core components of passenger satisfaction and a critical focus for our airports. Ultimately, on-time performance creates predictability which is an essential value-add for passengers,” says Cloete.
