Jetstar Asia beats Singapore Airlines in OAG flight punctuality study

A 2018 survey by aviation industry analyst OAG has found budget carrier Jetstar Asia is one of the planet’s most punctual airlines. With 85.08 per cent of its flights operating to schedule, Jetstar Asia placed eighth in the world rankings, fourth in the Asia Pacific region and second for Southeast Asia.

OAG’s On Time Performance (OTP) percentages placed Jetstar Asia in second place in the category of budget airlines. The study rated the punctuality performances of 400 global airlines and 250 in the low cost grouping. Airlines were only marked down for flights which arrived 15 minutes, or more, late.

The team at OAG say they factored in the 2017 performance statistics for 57 million flights to reach their conclusions. Jetstar Asia is the Singapore based stablemate of Jetstar Airways. Jetstar Asia’s stellar performances outranked Singapore Airlines. The city-state’s flag-carrier ranked thirteenth in the world OTP table with 84.07 per cent.  

Jetstar Asia flies to locations throughout Asia with destinations from Bangkok and Phuket to Da Nang, Hong Kong and Yangon on its itineraries. Jetstar Asia is one of the chosen partners of 12GO ASIA and we offer reservation services for flights with this airline.
