The most punctual airlines top 10 is out, bad news for British airlines..

The world’s most punctual airlines have been revealed in a new league table, and it’s bad news for British carriers.

Aviation insights company FlightStats compiled the data, which reveals the carriers that are most likely to get you from A to B on schedule, and the ones that may leave you twiddling your thumbs in the departures lounge.

No British airlines appear in the top ten most punctual list, compiled using data from 2016.

British Airways reported that 75.17% of its flights touched down on time last year, 13% less than the number one airline: Dutch carrier KLM.

The list takes into account all reasons for delays, including strike action, adverse weather and software issues.
