Singapore Airport stuck in Top 30 in World rankings

It remained in 26th place in May with only 58.65% of flights departing on time.

Despite the improvement from its April performance of 53.17% on-time departures, the Singapore airport failed to move up in the Top 30 World Airports ranking by FlightStats.

Tokyo continued to dominate with an impressive 94.73% on-time performance, while down from 95.74% from April, was still far ahead of second-place Bangkok with 87.41% on-time flights.

Hong Kong edged out Singapore by one place, ranking 25th with 69.49% on-time departures.

Asian airports, with a few exceptions, paled in performance compared to their US, European and Australian counterparts.

Still, the bright spot for Singapore is that its monthly on-time rate is increasing while its late performance is declining. Compared to April, late flights (15 - 29 minutes) dipped to 27.01% from 29.38% last month; very late flights (30 - 44 minutes) lowered to 7.90% from 9.50%; and excessive late flights (44 minutes up) came down to 6.44% from 7.95%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
