Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, has been ranked the world’s most punctual airline for May 2026, according to the latest aviation analytics report by Cirium.
Achieving an outstanding on-time departure rate of 92.30% and an on-time arrival rate of 90.12%, the airline successfully managed a robust schedule of 13,669 flights across four continents.
This milestone is particularly significant as it was achieved during a peak operational period, encompassing the 2026 Hajj pilgrimage season and the Eid Al-Adha holidays.
The airline attributed this operational excellence to its integration of advanced AI-driven systems, proactive decision-making, and seamless coordination across its global network.
By prioritizing punctuality as a core element of its guest experience, Saudia continues to advance the Saudi Aviation Strategy, solidifying the Kingdom’s role as a premier global logistics and aviation hub.
