Stockholm's Arlanda tops list of most punctual airports in Europe
In 2024, Arlanda had an 80 percent punctuality rate for departures, four percent better than in 2023, and well above the average of 66 percent across all airports included in the report by industry organisation Eurocontrol.
Oslo, which improved 1 percent on 2023, came second place for punctuality, while Copenhagen, which saw an 8 percent improvement, came in third.
Arlanda, as well as nine other Swedish airports, is owned and run by Swedavia.
"We're happy to hear that Arlanda was able to deliver the best punctuality for departures in Europe in 2024," Swedavia's CEO Jonas Abrahamson said in a statement.
"We always place a high priority on being punctual and we plan to continue our work to further strengthen this alongside our employees and collaborators who all contribute to Arlanda's efficiency."
The number of flights passing through Arlanda also increased by four percent in 2024 compared to the previous year. International flights increased by seven percent, while domestic flights decreased by ten percent.
