Air Asia's on-time performance rating for June 2009 was 79%. Its there
on the front page of their web site. That means that less than 8 out
of 10 of their flights were on time.

That compares with all reporting US airlines for the period of April
2009
to May 2009 with on time arrival rate of 79.82% at
http://www.transtats.bts.gov/OT_Dela...ause1.asp?pn=1. Pretty
much
the I'd say.

But those statistics are for US airlines which mainly operate within
North America. For Air Asia, a better comparison would be with an
Asian full-service airline flying to similar destinations. For
example, Singapore Airlines on-time performance rating for June 2009
was 90.5%.

One month is too short a period of time to draw too far going conclusions.

In my opinion the comparison is valid. Why would US or European airlines
be allowed to have more delays than Asian airlines? Asian airspace is
also very crowded.

By the way, our Emirates flight Dubai-KL this June was delayed by four
hours, because there was some technical problem with the Emirates plane
in Dubai and we had to change planes.

For a one year period, May 2008 to May 2009 it was 78.42%. North American
airspace in the lower 48 is pretty crowded year round. I am wondering if
winter weather in north america is more a factor in the U.S. than it is
anytime in SE Asia?
