Philippine Airlines Tops Asia-Pacific for On-Time Flights in 2025

If you hate delays, here’s some good news. Philippine Airlines (PAL) has been named the most punctual airline in the Asia-Pacific region for 2025, beating out its regional rivals when it comes to arriving on time.

PAL Leads the Region in Punctuality

PAL posted an on-time arrival rate of 83.12%, making it the top performer in Asia-Pacific. The ranking is based on flights that landed within 15 minutes of their scheduled arrival time.

The data comes from Cirium, a global aviation analytics firm that tracks flight arrivals, delays, and cancellations worldwide.

Why This Win Matters

Airlines across Asia-Pacific have been dealing with packed schedules, limited capacity, and ongoing operational challenges. Against that backdrop, PAL’s performance stands out.

The airline says the recognition highlights the consistency and coordination behind its daily operations, especially among frontline teams who handle flights on the ground and in the air.

Teamwork Behind the On-Time Record

PAL President and COO Lucio C. Tan III credited the achievement to discipline and teamwork across the organization, as well as strong partnerships with aviation and infrastructure players supporting the airline’s operations.

For frequent flyers, it’s a simple takeaway: PAL flights are more likely to arrive when they say they will.
