Hi,
The CAA have today released figures for charter airline OTP for the Summer season months, May-Sept 05.
The Top Three are:
First Choice Airways – 17.32 (19.21)*
Thomsonfly – 17.73 (13.00)*
MyTravel Airways – 24.32 (32.42)*
*Average Delay Compared to Same Period Last Year
The results show that the only improvements came from MyTravel Airways and First Choice Airways with MyTravel having the highest OTP of all charter airlines standing at over 77%.
The figures also show that Excel and Flyjet had a terrible Summer with an average delay of 42.41 and 61.71 minutes respectively.
Thomas Cook’s performance seems to have significantly dropped with 1 in 8 flights an hour or more late!
Makes for interesting reading!
Thanks

Astreaus did’nt seem to be doing that good as well now down in sixth position with a high proportion of delayed flights. The average flight operated over 41 minutes behind schedule (compared to 24 minutes over the same period in 2004). More than 1 in 6 Astraeus flights was over 1 hour late, and only 56% of flights were on-time, down more than 11% on the 2004 figure for the airline.
Astraeus will be happy that the LBA figurs are not included for them Summer 2005. Lost count off all the delays the LBA base B737-300 had. Brake downs, Ground crew driving into it one of the aircrafts front Doors, Fuel stops on some longer flights to Cyprus and the caneria islands and not forgetting that Divert into France due to loss of cabin pressure as well.
Just hope they can do better this year. With one of the B737-700 units been based at LBA and getting rid of that B737-300 G-STRB. she broke down all the time.

I’m not suprised to see MYT with such a high increase in punctuality – I seem to remember towards the middle and end of the summer season many of their flights running early by 20-40 mins.
