Where these figures come from
Bulgaria’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 Bulgaria — domestic flights within Bulgaria, and its routes to countries that publish nothing, are absent.
What the record shows
On Bulgaria routes the airlines separate clearly: Wizz Air UK arrived on time 11.3 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 Bulgaria 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 Bulgaria routes?
Wizz Air UK, at 82.8% on time across 736 flights on those routes. The least punctual was Ryanair at 71.5%.
Does Bulgaria publish flight delay data?
No. Bulgaria 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 Bulgaria is not covered.
Can I claim compensation for a delayed flight from Bulgaria?
Yes. Bulgaria 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.
