Where these figures come from
Denmark’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 Denmark — domestic flights within Denmark, and its routes to countries that publish nothing, are absent.
What the record shows
On Denmark routes the airlines separate clearly: British Airways arrived on time 17 points more often than Ryanair UK. 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 Denmark 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 Denmark routes?
British Airways, at 84% on time across 6,267 flights on those routes. The least punctual was Ryanair UK at 67%.
Does Denmark publish flight delay data?
No. Denmark 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 Denmark is not covered.
Can I claim compensation for a delayed flight from Denmark?
Yes. Denmark 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.
