Where these figures come from

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

What the record shows

On Egypt routes the airlines separate clearly: BA Euroflyer arrived on time 19 points more often than easyJet. 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 Egypt 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 Egypt routes?

BA Euroflyer, at 79.9% on time across 234 flights on those routes. The least punctual was easyJet at 60.9%.

Does Egypt publish flight delay data?

No. Egypt 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 Egypt is not covered.

Can I claim compensation for a delayed flight from Egypt?

There is no statutory compensation scheme for flights departing Egypt. 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.
