Global OTP Summary – September 2026
September marked a significant advance in global aviation performance. Cancellations declined from 59,785 to 47,670, while the average on-time arrival rate across airlines in Cirium’s global ranking improved by nearly two percentage points to 86.04%.
Hainan Airlines emerged as the new global leader following one of the month’s most substantial performance gains. Across the regions, WestJet, Austrian, Sky Airline and Gulf Air demonstrated the consistency, recovery and operating precision required to lead their markets.
Airport operations reinforced the recovery. Harbin Taiping International Airport, Panama City Tocumen International Airport and El Salvador International Airport led the large, medium and small categories respectively.
New leaders across all three airport categories further demonstrated that September’s improvement extended beyond individual carriers. However, continued infrastructure failures and airspace constraints underscored the fragility that remains within the global system.
