Qatar Airways has been named one of the world’s five most reliable airlines in the 2025 On-Time Performance Review published by Cirium. The airline won the Platinum Award for an on-time performance of 84.42%, based on more than 198,000 flights operated across six continents. It also highlights the carrier’s resilience in the face of challenges such as climate change, geopolitical issues and airspace restrictions.

Using data from more than 600 sources around the world, the On-Time Performance Review measures punctuality by counting the number of flights arriving at the gate within 15 minutes of their scheduled time. Praising the achievement, Qatar Airways CEO Jeremy Bowen said the results demonstrate the airline’s strong planning and ability to manage a complex global network. Mexico’s Aeromexico topped the rankings with a 90.02% on-time rate, while airlines such as Saudia, SAS, and Azul also made the list of top performers.
