For the second year running, Aeromexico has been named the world's most punctual airline in 2025, with a global network, in a ranking by consultants Cirium of the best-performing airlines and airports in terms of punctuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the consultant's 2025 report, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/cirium-airlines-airports-punctuality-2024\/\">Aeromexico<\/a> has reason to be proud, with an on-time arrival rate (i.e. including a delay of less than 15 minutes) of 90.02. In fact, Aeromexico becomes the second airline to win this title two years running since the ranking was launched in 2009. In 2025, Aeromexico operated almost 189,000 flights in 23 countries, demonstrating its great reliability in terms of schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"109ca441-a9c9-4ba2-8e8a-0aa62f6405b9\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-2\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\">\n<p data-start=\"599\" data-end=\"1004\">Aeromexico has a punctuality gap of almost 3.5 points with the second most punctual airline in the world, according to Cirium.

The Doha-based airline recorded a punctuality rate of 84.42 % on more than 198,000 flights linking six continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cirium also launched a new award in 2025, for the \"airline with the greatest operational improvement\". This award went to Virgin Atlantic. The British airline recorded the biggest annual improvement among the major carriers, raising its punctuality rate from 74.02 % in 2024 to 83.45 % in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as airports are concerned, Latin America 'crushes' the rest of the world.
