Air New Zealand ranks second in Asia Pacific for punctuality
Air New Zealand has been recognised for its punctuality, securing second place in the Asia Pacific region for 2025 in the Cirium On-Time Performance Review. The airline achieved an on-time arrival rate of 79.29% and successfully operated 97.22% of its scheduled services, completing 171,216 flights. This marks an improvement from 2024, when 77.3% of flights arrived on time, surpassing the global average of just over 76%. The airline's domestic jet network was particularly noteworthy, with 81% of services achieving on-time arrival, closely followed by its regional network at 80.7%. General Manager Airports, Kate Boyer, highlighted the significance of these results, stating, “Getting customers to where they need to be on time, and safely, is the fundamental proposition of any airline to its customers.” Air New Zealand's improved performance is attributed to a new scheduling strategy introduced in 2025, which considers the unique operational realities of different airports. This approach has led to significant improvements, with 84.5% of regional flights arriving on time in November and 81.2% in December. The airline is also developing a digital tool to enhance schedule timings and has invested in additional training for frontline teams and new equipment to support ground operations. Boyer emphasised, “This is a business-wide effort. On-time performance is not something we look at once a year. It is a daily focus.” As Air New Zealand continues to refine its operations, the airline aims to be among the top five globally for on-time performance, demonstrating its commitment to reliability and customer satisfaction. ```

In June 2025, Asia Pacific Airlines show passenger and cargo traffic growth
Representative Image Preliminary June 2025 traffic figures released by the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) showed continued growth in international passenger markets, underpinned by rising travel demand ahead of the mid-year holiday season. International air cargo volumes also saw further growth, supported by ongoing front-loading and re-routing of shipments amid prevailing trade-related uncertainties. Available seat capacity rose by 8.5% For the month, the region’s airlines collectively carried 31.2 million international passengers, representing a 7.1% increase compared to the same month last year. Measured in revenue passenger kilometres (RPK), demand grew by 8.0% year-on-year, reflecting the moderation in growth rates in line with long-term trends since 2024. Available seat capacity rose at a slightly faster pace of 8.5%, leading to a 0.4 percentage point decline in the average international passenger load factor to 81.7%. Meanwhile, international air cargo demand, as measured in freight tonne kilometres (FTK), grew by 5.6% year-on-year in June, on the back of a rebound in global manufacturing activity, notably in the consumer and intermediate goods segments. Offered freight capacity increased by 7.1%, outpacing the rise in demand and resulting in a 0.8 percentage point decline in the international freight load factor, to an average of 62.1% for the month. Commenting on the results, Subhas Menon, AAPA Director General, said, “During the first half of 2025, Asia Pacific airlines carried a total of 190.5 million international passengers, which is a 12% increase compared to the same period last year. International air cargo demand also recorded a relatively resilient 6% year-on-year growth.” Outlook remains Positive Menon added, “The expansion underscores the strength of the region’s economies, which supports the sustained growth in travel demand, even though there is uncertainty in the global trade environment. Cargo volumes are also growing as demand for air freight services, particularly in the e-commerce and time-sensitive segments, is still very strong.” Looking ahead, Menon said, “The outlook for travel markets in the near term remains positive, bolstered by a rise in ticket bookings during the peak mid-year holiday season. However, the widespread introduction of tariffs signals mounting inflation on the horizon. The moderation in business confidence is also a reflection of the growing concerns over the global economic outlook, with implications for both the air travel and cargo markets further ahead. Asia Pacific carriers are alert to the cost pressures, while adapting to market conditions and seeking growth opportunities, both regionally and globally.”
