Saudia continues to dominate the global aviation scene, securing the top spot for on-time performance (OTP) in November 2024. The airline, which is the national carrier of Saudi Arabia, achieved an impressive 89.85 percent OTP. This outstanding performance highlights Saudia’s commitment to operational excellence and its ability to handle over 16,300 flights in a single month.
This marks the third time in 2024 that Saudia has reached the top position in global OTP rankings. Earlier this year, it led the rankings in both June and July. Saudia’s focus on efficiency and punctuality has set a new standard for airlines worldwide. As a result, the airline has built strong customer confidence and loyalty, especially in terms of reliable and timely service.
In addition to Saudia’s success, flyadeal, its low-cost affiliate, has also made waves in the aviation industry. Flyadeal posted an OTP of 90.48 percent, securing the second spot in the global low-cost carrier (LCC) category. This marks the second consecutive month flyadeal has maintained its impressive position. With its continued focus on affordable yet efficient travel, flyadeal is rapidly expanding its operations across the Middle East and beyond.
Looking ahead, Saudia is planning significant growth as part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative. The airline will soon expand its fleet by adding 130 new aircraft, effectively doubling its seating capacity. This move will not only improve global connectivity but also enhance the passenger experience with cutting-edge technology and enhanced services.
Meanwhile, flyadeal is set to extend its international routes starting in early 2025. The airline will offer increased travel options to destinations in Europe and North Africa, further solidifying its position as a leading low-cost airline in the region.
