Best airline to Qatar

Ranked on one measure only: how often each airline's flights on Qatar routes actually arrived on time. Not seat width, not service — punctuality, from the regulator's own file.

Too few airlines have enough flights on Qatar routes to name a best one.

# Airline Flights On time
1 Qatar Airways 14,737 76.3%
2 British Airways 1,299 74.8%

What "best" means here, and what it does not

Punctuality is one dimension of a good airline and not the one most people would name first. It is, however, the only one that is measured the same way for every carrier and published by somebody with no stake in the answer — which makes it the one worth ranking on.

It is also route-specific. An airline near the bottom of this table may be excellent elsewhere; what the table says is how it ran on these particular routes over this particular period. The same list, worst first →
