Airline Ranking 2026

Bulgaria Air achieves an exceptional FlyClaim Score of 9.5/10, demonstrating remarkable operational reliability with zero cancellations across all monitored flights. While the airline experienced 6 delayed flights with an average delay of 194 minutes, this represents significantly better performance than industry standards. The most problematic routes include BEG-MXP, MAD-LPA, and DOH-BER, suggesting potential challenges with specific international connections. Despite these delays generating €2,700 in total compensation value, the airline's overall punctuality remains impressive.

Azul achieves an exceptional FlyClaim Score of 9.5/10, demonstrating outstanding operational reliability with zero flight cancellations. While the airline experienced only 6 delayed flights, the average delay duration of 203 minutes is significantly above the industry standard of 60-90 minutes. The most problematic routes appear to be European connections including LIS-TER, FRA-MAD, and BER-LIS, suggesting potential challenges with international operations or specific airport partnerships.

Carpatair demonstrates exceptional operational reliability with a perfect 0% cancellation rate and an outstanding FlyClaim Score of 9.4/10. While the airline experienced only 6 delayed flights, the average delay duration of 224 minutes (nearly 4 hours) indicates that when disruptions occur, they tend to be significant. The OTP-VRN route appears particularly vulnerable, accounting for both directions of the most problematic connection. Despite these substantial delays, the relatively low total compensation value of €1,500 suggests most affected passengers may have been on shorter routes with lower compensation thresholds.

Flynas demonstrates exceptional operational reliability with a remarkable FlyClaim Score of 9.4/10, significantly outperforming industry standards. Despite recording 9 delayed flights with an average delay of 187 minutes, the airline maintains a perfect 0% cancellation rate, showing strong commitment to completing scheduled services. The delays appear concentrated on specific routes to SAW (Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen), particularly from BHX and BER, suggesting potential operational challenges at this destination airport rather than systemic airline issues.

S4 delivers exceptional operational performance with a remarkable 9.1/10 FlyClaim Score and zero cancellations, demonstrating strong reliability standards. However, when delays do occur, they tend to be significant with an average of 252 minutes - well above the typical 60-90 minute industry average. The delay pattern shows concentration on Lisbon routes, particularly the TER-LIS and LIS-TER connections, as well as the VIE-LIS route, suggesting potential operational challenges at Lisbon hub. With only 9 delayed flights generating €3,450 in compensation, S4 maintains good overall punctuality despite the severity of individual delays.

Atlas Air demonstrates exceptional operational reliability with a perfect 0% cancellation rate and only 7 delayed flights, earning an outstanding FlyClaim Score of 9.1/10. However, when delays do occur, they tend to be severe with an average of 255 minutes - significantly higher than industry standards. The most problematic routes involve long-haul connections from Amsterdam to Asian destinations (AMS-ICN, AMS-HKG) and cargo operations (LGG-KGF), suggesting challenges with intercontinental scheduling. Despite the lengthy delays when they happen, the airline's overall punctuality performance remains impressive.

RwandAir demonstrates exceptional operational reliability with a perfect 0% cancellation rate and an outstanding FlyClaim Score of 9/10. While the airline experienced only 7 delayed flights, the average delay duration of 276 minutes is significantly above industry standards. All major delays appear concentrated on routes connecting to Doha (DOH), including WAW-DOH, AMS-DOH, and MXP-DOH, suggesting potential hub-related operational challenges.

Wizz Air demonstrates exceptional operational reliability with an impressive 8.9/10 FlyClaim Score and a perfect 0% cancellation rate. While the airline experienced 13 delayed flights, the significant average delay of 231 minutes suggests that when disruptions occur, they tend to be substantial. The most affected routes include HRG-LTN (Hurghada to London Luton), FNC-VIE (Funchal to Vienna), and LIS-WAW (Lisbon to Warsaw), indicating potential challenges on longer international sectors. Despite these delays generating €5,200 in total compensation value, the airline's overall performance remains well above industry standards.

Virgin Australia achieves an impressive 8.9/10 FlyClaim Score with a perfect 0% cancellation rate, demonstrating strong operational reliability. However, when delays do occur, they tend to be significant with an average of 261 minutes - well above typical industry standards. The most impacted routes (WAW-DOH, BCN-DOH, MXP-DOH) all involve Doha connections, suggesting potential hub-related operational challenges. Despite only 9 delayed flights, the total compensation value of €5,400 reflects the severity of these disruptions.

ULS Airlines Cargo maintains an excellent FlyClaim Score of 8.9/10, demonstrating strong operational reliability with zero cancellations. However, when delays do occur, they tend to be significantly lengthy at 339 minutes average - well above industry standards. A clear pattern emerges with all major delays affecting Istanbul (IST) routes from OSL, LNZ, and HEL, suggesting potential hub-specific operational challenges.
