Cirium 2021 On-Time Performance Review: Delta Air Lines Platinum Award for operational excellence!

Cirium has published the study "On-Time Performance Review 2021", the global standard for the operational performance of airlines and airports. Cirium has been awarded the Platinum Award to Delta Air Lines for its operational excellence.

The new annual award is given to an airline with outstanding performance, given the complexity of the airline's operation, the volume of flights, the diversity of its network and other key operational factors. 

The Platinum Award is based on a proprietary Cirium algorithm that takes into account a number of parameters and compares airlines one by one, as far as possible, to ensure fairness, accuracy and integrity.

"It has been another challenging year for the aviation industry, yet 2021 has certainly been better than 2020, marking the beginning of recovery.", stated Jeremy Bowen, CEO Cirium.
