KLM named most punctual carrier

KLM achieved the best on-time performance of all scheduled airlines operating at UK airports in the first quarter of 2009, according to new research.

Flightontime.info released figures showing that the airline had an average delay of 5.6 minutes in the first three months of the year and launched 91% of its flights within 15 minutes of their scheduled departure time.

Second place in the rankings went to bmi regional with an average delay of 5.9 minutes, followed by VLM Airlines with 6.2 minutes.

In the section of the study covering low-cost carriers, bmibaby was named the most punctual operator in the UK with an average hold-up time of 7.9 minutes.

Crawford Rix, managing director of the airline, said: 'At bmibaby we work extremely hard to ensure all our flights are on time for our passengers. Our results for quarter one of 2009 are excellent.'

The low-cost carrier announced this month that it was putting the first phase of its summer 2010 programme on sale, allowing customers to book flights to Alicante, Faro, Malaga and other destinations.
