HKG airline punctuality ranking β September 2026
September 1, 2026
Every month TripDip ranks every airline at Hong Kong International Airport by how often it actually runs on time, using official Airport Authority open flight data that we archive permanently. This edition covers Apr 22, 2026 to Aug 29, 2026 β 112,408 passenger legs across 86 operating carriers, of which 70 flew enough (β₯90 legs) to be ranked.
"On-time" means departing or arriving within 15 minutes of schedule; codeshares count against the airline that actually operated the flight. Full rules are on our methodology page.
