Aeromexico ranked first globally for on-time performance (OTP) in 2025 for the second year in a row, according to the On-Time Performance Review from Cirium, an aviation analytics provider. This was only the second time a carrier had consecutive wins since Cirium launched its report in 2009. Aeromexico’s 90.2% OTP was an improvement over its 2024 result of 86.7%.

For the second year in a row, Saudia Airlines came in second with an OTP of 86.53%, up 0.18% year over year. SAS was third at 86.09%, up 4.69 percentage points from 2024.

Delta Air Lines was the only North American carrier to make the global list, coming in 10th at 80.9%. (Mexico is in North America, but Cirium includes Aeromexico in its Latin American category.) In 2024, Delta had been third globally with an OTP of 83.46%. Nine of the airlines repeated their appearance on the global Top 10 list. Turkish Airlines (81.41%) replaced United Airlines, which had been 10th in 2024.

Delta was the leader among North American carriers for the fifth year in a row. Alaska Airlines moved up one spot to second at 79.20%, followed by Spirit Airlines at 78.83%. Spirit was the most improved North American carrier compared with its 2024 average, increasing 2.78 percentage points. United dropped to fourth place from second in 2024. Cirium noted that the carrier had been affected by telecommunication outages at its Newark Liberty International Airport hub.
