oneworld® is the best alliance for on-time flights, according to FlightStats, Inc., the leading airline industry data services and solutions technology company, which today presented oneworld with its Airline Alliance On-Time Performance Service Award for 2014.
It is the second time running that oneworld has been confirmed by FlightStats as the most punctual global airline alliance, after gaining the accolade on its inauguration.
This latest honour means that oneworld is now the current holder of an unprecedented seven of the nine available leading “best airline alliance” awards internationally.
The FlightStats’ award is based on its analysis of some 32 million flights operated by 250 airlines globally in the past year – which showed that oneworld members collectively maintained a more punctual operation across the 12 months than their counterparts in the other global airline groups.
oneworld’s 15 member airlines and their 30 affiliated carriers serve almost a thousand destinations in more than 150 countries, boarding 1.4 million customers daily. FlightStats’ analysis of 3,713,154 oneworld flights operated in 2014 showed 79.97 per cent of them arrived on-time – a better record than any other global airline alliance.
