Punctuality

HOW DOES RYANAIR MEASURE ITS PUNCTUALITY?

Ryanair measures its punctuality through industry standards, whereby any flight that arrives on or within 15 minutes of its scheduled arrival time is deemed to be ‘on time’. In FY17, Ryanair operated over 600,000 flights and 88% of those flights arrived on-time. Ryanair also cancels fewer flights than any other airline.

Each month we publish our punctuality statistics. See below for our monthly stats from 2010 to date. These stats show that Ryanair continues to beat EasyJet (and every other airline in Europe) for punctuality.
