Copa Airlines was recognized by CIRIUM as “Latin America’s Most Punctual Airline” in 2024, an award the company has received for the tenth time.

This achievement positions the company with the highest punctuality index in the Americas and third in the world, highlighting the operational excellence that characterizes the company.

The “On-Time Performance (OTP)” report by CIRIUM reveals that Copa Airlines achieved an 88.22% on-time arrival rate, an unmatched record in the Americas. This milestone underscores the company’s commitment to providing reliable and efficient connectivity across the region.

Operational Resilience: Key Factors

Despite significant challenges, such as the temporary suspension of its Boeing 737 MAX 9 fleet in January 2024 and the cancellation of flights to Venezuela in August, Copa Airlines maintained an outstanding itinerary compliance rate of 98.73%. This achievement places the airline among those with the lowest cancellation rates on the continent.

Copa Airlines’ success would not be possible without the dedication of its over 8,000 employees, who work daily to deliver world-class service. This recognition strengthens passenger trust, as they rely on the airline to ensure timely arrivals at their destinations.
