Title: Ryanair: Is it really Europe's most punctual airline?
Post by: mhm on May 26, 2013, 01:44:05 PM
Ryanair has announced record profits this week, and the purchase of 175 new Boeing airliners. It's evidently one of Europe's most successful airlines at present - but has it even so been blowing its own trumpet a bit too much?

Ever heard the cheerful jingle on a Ryanair plane as it touches down on the runway?

"Last year over 90% of Ryanair flights landed on time, beating every other European airline."

Quite a boast. According to the statistics that Ryanair puts out itself, they achieved 90% punctuality last year, and have done for the last few years.
