Where these figures come from
Portugal’s own regulator does not publish punctuality data
These figures come from the UK Civil Aviation Authority and Brazil’s ANAC, which report every flight at their own end of the route — whichever airline operates it. So this is not a picture of all air travel in Portugal — domestic flights within Portugal, and its routes to countries that publish nothing, are absent.
What the record shows
On Portugal routes the airlines separate clearly: Jet2 arrived on time 14.3 points more often than Wizz Air 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 Portugal 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 Portugal routes?
Jet2, at 80.3% on time across 12,278 flights on those routes. The least punctual was Wizz Air UK at 66%.
Does Portugal publish flight delay data?
No. Portugal publishes no punctuality data of its own. The figures here come from the UK Civil Aviation Authority and Brazil’s ANAC, which report every flight at their own end of the route — so domestic flying inside Portugal is not covered.
Can I claim compensation for a delayed flight from Portugal?
Yes. Portugal 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.
