The budget airline said it posted a 92.96 percent on-time performance (OTP) rate for June, according to global aviation data provider OAG Aviation. This was up from 87 percent in May.
The AirAsia Group also ranked 10th among the world’s best-performing large airlines for on-time performance, recording an 83.02 percent OTP across 14,502 flights.
“Beyond offering affordable and accessible fares, reliability has always been at the core of AirAsia’s DNA,” said Anna Victoria Lu, AirAsia Philippines president and general manager.
“Despite the challenges faced by the aviation industry in the first half of the year, we’re proud of the operational progress we’ve made while continuing to provide safe, efficient, and customer-focused service,” she added.
“Our next priority is to stabilize operations so our guests and stakeholders can count on our continued commitment to rebuilding travel confidence and bringing more people back to the skies, safely and on time.”
AirAsia Philippines said its strong on-time performance was driven by strategic operational planning and seamless coordination across the airline.
It also tagged factors such as proper crew scheduling, continuous weather monitoring, and real-time decision-making that enabled teams to respond quickly to operational challenges.
