Hyderabad airport declared as world’s most punctual airport

The GMR Hyderabad International Airport has achieved a global feat by recording the most punctual airport in the world.
A recently released report by aviation analytical firm, CIrium, stated that the airport recorded 90.43 percent on-time performance.
It was followed by Kempegowda International (BLR) in Bengaluru with 86.14%, followed by Bogota’s El Dorado International (BOG) in Colombia.
Hyderabad airport is the only airport in the world to cross the 90 per cent mark. Hyderabad airport topped the charts in both ‘Global airports’ and ‘Large airports’ categories.
Airports were selected based on actual gate departure service that has 80 percent or better coverage of actual departure times.
