Where these figures come from

Belgium’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 Belgium — domestic flights within Belgium, and its routes to countries that publish nothing, are absent.

What the record shows

On Belgium routes the airlines separate clearly: British Airways arrived on time 11 points more often than Brussels Airlines. 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 Belgium 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 Belgium routes?

British Airways, at 75.6% on time across 3,436 flights on those routes. The least punctual was Brussels Airlines at 64.6%.

Does Belgium publish flight delay data?

No. Belgium 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 Belgium is not covered.

Can I claim compensation for a delayed flight from Belgium?

Yes. Belgium 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.
