In April, SAS had the world’s highest punctuality of all major airlines with 90.78%, being the only major airline worldwide to achieve a punctuality higher than 90%. For the past three years, SAS has also been named Europe’s most punctual airline.

“This is the first time we have been the world’s most punctual airline two months in a row, which we are extremely proud of.

SAS har lavere punktlighet enn Norwegian denne måneden. Det må jo svi litt for SAS som markedsfører seg som verdens mest punktlige airline. Når tar Norwegian steget opp fra regionalt flyselskap? Det er vel mye mulig at Norwegian kan overta den tittelen vist Norwegian tar steget opp.
