Aeroflot ranks first by punctuality in October 2019 among world’s top 20 airlines, according to OAG, UK’s major provider of global travel data and insight.

As revealed by monthly OAG On-Time Performance Report, in October 2019, Aeroflot operated 89.8% of its flights on schedule. This result makes the Russian airline the punctuality leader among Europe’s carriers operating over 30 thousand flights monthly. Aeroflot outperformed its key competitors improving its September OTP result by 0.6 p.p.

Earlier, Aeroflot received five-star punctuality rating from OAG, becoming the only Russian and the largest European airline by passenger traffic to receive the highest score. Aeroflot made it to the only 10% of On-Time Performance Star Ratings to receive the highest five-star rating.

Aeroflot has been constantly improving its punctuality result through a host of effective measures. These included strict implementation of boarding regulations. Future plans include innovations based on the latest digital technologies, such as biometric controls, that will significantly accelerate pre-flight airport procedures for passengers.
