The past year saw the return of travel in full force after the COVID-19 pandemic, with airlines and airports struggling to keep up with the sudden surge of passengers. However, despite these challenges, some airports and airlines worldwide excelled, according to a report by Cirium Aviation Analytics.

Top-Performing Global Airports

Cirium released a list of the top-performing global airports of 2022, with Bangalore’s Kempegowda International Airport and Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport taking the second and seventh spots, respectively. The top 10 airports, according to Cirium, are:

Haneda Airport (Tokyo, Japan)
Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore, India)
Salt Lake City International Airport (Utah, US)
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (Michigan, US)
Philadelphia International Airport (Pennsylvania, US)
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (Minnesota, US)

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Washington, US)

According to the report, the aviation industry struggled with understaffing and insufficient capacity in 2022, leading to delays and cancellations. However, operations improved over time as the industry added workers and adjusted capacity.

Most Punctual Airlines

Cirium also released a list of the most punctual airlines worldwide, with Azul Airlines coming out as the “global leader.” Azul is a Brazilian carrier based in São Paulo that offers flights to destinations within Brazil and other parts of South America, North America, and Europe. The airline has won numerous awards, including “Best Regional Airline in South America,” “Best Airline Staff in South America,” and “Best Airline Cabin Cleanliness in South America” in the 2019 Skytrax awards.

Delta Airlines was also recognized by Cirium, receiving the Platinum Award for global operational excellence for the second consecutive year. This award takes into account on-time performance, operational complexity, and an airline’s ability to limit the impact of flight disruption on passengers.
