Where these figures come from

Austria’s own regulator does not publish punctuality data

These figures come from the UK Civil Aviation Authority, which reports every flight at its own end of the route — whichever airline operates it. So this is not a picture of all air travel in Austria — domestic flights within Austria, and its routes to countries that publish nothing, are absent.

What the record shows

On Austria routes the airlines separate clearly: British Airways arrived on time 16.3 points more often than Ryanair. Both fly the same corridors into the same airports, so the difference is in how each is run rather than where each flies.

Because these flights are counted at the other end of the route, the picture is partial by construction. Domestic flying inside Austria does not appear, and neither do its routes to countries that publish nothing. What is here is accurate; it is simply not everything.

Common questions

Which airline is most punctual on Austria routes?

British Airways, at 82.9% on time across 3,999 flights on those routes. The least punctual was Ryanair at 66.6%.

Does Austria publish flight delay data?

No. Austria publishes no punctuality data of its own. The figures here come from the UK Civil Aviation Authority, which reports every flight at its own end of the route — so domestic flying inside Austria is not covered.

Can I claim compensation for a delayed flight from Austria?

Yes. Austria is covered by EC 261, so a flight departing it — on any airline — can be worth roughly €250 to €600 after an arrival delay of three hours or more, unless the cause was an extraordinary circumstance such as severe weather.
