What the record says about GIG

Departures from GIG leave close to schedule more often than most airports in the record. An airport this punctual is usually one with spare capacity in its runway slots.

The airlines flying from here are not equally affected. Gol Linhas Aéreas left on time 31.8 points more often than LATAM Airlines from the same airport — which is the clearest evidence available that a delayed departure is not purely the airport's fault.

With 40 routes in the record, GIG is a hub, and hubs carry a particular risk: a delay early in the day propagates through every aircraft that was due to fly on afterwards. Morning departures from a hub are reliably better than evening ones.
