Saudia ranked second in the world for on-time arrival performance in 2025, according to a report by Cirium, which specializes in monitoring airline and airport operations and performance, for the second year in a row.
The report noted that Saudia recorded an on-time arrival rate of 86.53% across a total of 202,800 flights on its network covering more than 100 destinations on 4 continents, according to a post on the airline's LinkedIn account.
Saudia Group Director General Eng. Ibrahim bin Abdulrahman Al-Omar explained that this success came through the efforts of all the teams involved in flight planning, operations and management, as operational efficiency is one of the pillars of the strategic plan and is directly linked to the customer experience, since time is of utmost importance on every journey.
With 116 new aircraft arriving over the next few years and joining Saudia's current fleet of 149 aircraft, operations will expand with more flights and seat capacity on existing destinations along with the launch of new international stations.
All capabilities have been harnessed to accommodate the expected future increase and maintain operational efficiency through qualified Saudi staff and the extensive capabilities of the operations building responsible for managing and operating flights using the latest air transport industry technologies.
Saudia's operational success goes hand in hand with its efforts to bring the world to the Kingdom by carrying travellers and connecting them with many major events held in the Kingdom, including global forums and tourism, entertainment and sporting events, as flight punctuality helps ease the travel experience.
