OAG has just published this online. It is available for dowmloading.
I have no idea why it includes departure times as one measure of airline punctuality as surely only arrival time compared to the schedule is relevant to travellers.
With airports, PER is said to have punctuality of 81.94 per cent of flights less than 15 minutes late, but six pr cent of flights were missed. ADL comes in higher, at 82.95 per cent punctuality.
In the 'large airports' category, BNE is claimed to have 82.58 per cent of flights punctual.
Moviing to 'major airports', SYD has a poor 76.1 per cent of flights punctual and MEL is worse with just 74.69 per cent. Strangely only 95.9 per cent of flights were captured by the OAG database for MEL but 97 per cent in SYD. Maybe it can't obtain data for the smallest operators like Fly Pelican in SYD?
Qantas rates a mention under airlines with a suggested 85.65 per cent of flights punctual. Jetstar (Australia) has 74.33 per cent. Jetstar Asia has 84.13 per cent. These figures do not align with findings by BITRE (some months of the latter's reports are yet to be issued). VA and TT are not mentioned but OAG only discloses the top 20 legacy and separately, LCC airlines, and then has categories by region.
The report shows why Australia needs high speed rail. Having 25 per cent of flights into MEL at least 15 minutes late when many sectors are only 65 to 90 minutes is very poor.
One of our aviators said that MEL was the most difficult of the three major airports to operate into or out of, a title he'd previously regarded BNE as holding. Interesting that his thoughts are matched by MEL poor punctuality performance, not that SYD is much better.
