In October, Iberia ranked as the third most punctual airline in Europe and eighth worldwide, according to the monthly report published by the international consultancy Cirium. The airline stands on the European podium and maintains its position among the global top ten.

During the past month, 83.14% of the 16,604 flights operated by the Spanish carrier arrived on time. This category includes airlines with the highest Available Seat Kilometers (ASK) in the market; specifically, they must be within the top 10% globally in ASK and operate in at least three regions. 


Ramiro Sequeira, Chief Production Officer at Iberia, stated: “This recognition is not a matter of chance, but the result of the effort, coordination, and dedication of everyone at Iberia. From those who plan and prepare each flight to the crews, ground staff, and maintenance teams: all contribute every day to ensuring our flights take off and land on time. At Iberia, punctuality is a shared achievement that also reflects our commitment to safety and the excellence of our teams, enabling us to deliver the best experience to our customers.”.
