What the record says about this route
Which airline you fly changes the odds here. Jet2 arrived on time 13.2 points more often than Ryanair over the same period on the same route — same airports, same weather, same air traffic control. A gap that survives all of that is about how the two airlines are run.
The two directions do not behave alike. EMA to PMI arrives on time 7.1 points more often than the outbound. Delay accumulates through the flying day, so whichever direction is scheduled later tends to carry the worse record — which is an argument for booking the morning departure if the choice exists.
This is a late route. Flights from Palma de Mallorca to Nottingham miss their scheduled arrival often enough that a tight connection at the far end is a connection at risk.
This is a thin route — 505 flights across the whole period. On a route this infrequent a cancellation is far more costly than the rate suggests, because the next departure may not be the same day.
Which airline should you fly on this route?
Over January 2025 – August 2026, Jet2 arrived on time most often on PMI to EMA. Ryanair was late most often. Flights ran closest to schedule in February and worst in June.

What these figures do and do not tell you
Everything on this page is counted from the flights that actually operated on PMI to EMA during January 2025 – August 2026, as reported by the airlines to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics. "On time" is the federal definition: arriving at the gate within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.
A route's record is a description of the past, not a forecast. Weather, air traffic control and the aircraft's earlier flights that day drive most delays, and none of them are predictable from a historical rate. What the record does tell you is whether this route runs late more often than others, and which carrier on it has the better history — which is the part you can actually act on when you book.
Cancellations are counted separately from delays because they are a different problem for a traveller: a late flight still gets you there. How the grade is calculated →
