Best and worst performing Asian airlines

Singapore Airlines not in the top10 list.

Singapore's flag carrier posted big drop from March's 7th place.

The decline in FlightStats' monthly Asian arrival performance rankings resulted from Singapore Airlines' deteriorating in on-time performance this April, which was down to 83.19% from 89.92% in the previous month.

Late flights worsened to 10.09% from 6.04% as did late, very late, and excessive late flights. Cancelled flights also spiked to 1.74% from 0.96%.

As Singapore Airlines slid down in on-time performance, other regional airlines like JAL Express and JAL Airlines surged to overtake in the Asian arrival rankings, which this month was dominated by Japan Air Commuter, posting a commanding 95.52% on-time performance. Second place went to Air Busan with 95.33% on-time flights followed by third-place J-Air with 95.01% on-time flights.

Among the Asian carriers, only five posted 90% or better on-time performance

Asia's 10 worst performing airlines are all Chinese carriers.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
