Singapore Airport stuck in Top 30 in World rankings

It remained in 26th place in May with only 58.65% of flights departing on time.

Despite the improvement from its April performance of 53.17% on-time departures, the Singapore airport failed to move up in the Top 30 World Airports ranking by FlightStats.

Tokyo continued to dominate with an impressive 94.73% on-time performance, while down from 95.74% from April, was still far ahead of second-place Bangkok with 87.41% on-time flights.

Hong Kong edged out Singapore by one place, ranking 25th with 69.49% on-time departures.

Asian airports, with a few exceptions, paled in performance compared to their US, European and Australian counterparts.

Still, the bright spot for Singapore is that its monthly on-time rate is increasing while its late performance is declining. Compared to April, late flights (15 - 29 minutes) dipped to 27.01% from 29.38% last month; very late flights (30 - 44 minutes) lowered to 7.90% from 9.50%; and excessive late flights (44 minutes up) came down to 6.44% from 7.95%.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
