These on-time performance reports for worldwide carriers and airports
are generated from FlightStats Analytics. Flightstats track the
performance of over 150,000 flights per day, archive the data for
analysis and publication, and provide real time flight status to
millions of travelers world wide each day. For more information about
Flightstats, please visit

Flightstats includes both regional and so called "major airlines", which
includes
SAS.
SAS refers only to "major airlines" in order to give an
accurate and realistic comparison.
As Flightstats monitors arrival punctuality, the results can differ
somewhat from those in
SAS' monthly traffic reports, which focuses on
departure punctuality.
