Where these figures come from

ANAC — Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil

Brazil publishes its own record, flight by flight: every scheduled service, its actual departure and arrival times, and whether it was cancelled.

What the record shows

On Brazil routes the airlines separate clearly: Azul Conecta arrived on time 85.2 points more often than Ethiopian Airlines. Both fly the same corridors into the same airports, so the difference is in how each is run rather than where each flies.

Brazil publishes its own flight record, so what follows covers domestic flying as well as international — which makes it one of the few countries where the whole network can be seen at once.

Common questions

Which airline is most punctual on Brazil routes?

Azul Conecta, at 93.6% on time across 375 flights on those routes. The least punctual was Ethiopian Airlines at 8.4%.

Does Brazil publish flight delay data?

Yes. Brazil is one of the few countries whose regulator publishes a full flight punctuality record, which is why this page covers domestic flying as well as international.

Can I claim compensation for a delayed flight from Brazil?

There is no statutory compensation scheme for flights departing Brazil. A cancellation normally entitles you to a refund under the airline's own conditions of carriage, and European rules may still reach your flight if the journey ends in the EU or UK on a European carrier.
