LATAM Airlines Group was ranked as the most punctual airline group in the world in July 2019 by aviation data services consultant FlightStats.

This is the third month in 2019 that the carrier has placed first in the ‘Global Airlines’ category.

In July, which coincided with the peak seasons in South America and the northern hemisphere, 86.73% of close to 44,000 LATAM flights arrived within 14 minutes of their scheduled itinerary. LATAM also led FlightStats’ global punctuality ranking in April and June 2019.

“We understand that punctuality is one of the most important factors in the travel experience of our passengers.

LATAM’s historic results in recent months are the product of a range of initiatives that we have been implementing, from new working methods that prioritize execution and operational excellence, to a new boarding process.

We will keep striving to ensure our passengers’ flights continue to depart and arrive on time,” said Hernán Pasman, Vice President of Operations, LATAM Airlines Group.
