Eastern Airways has been named the most punctual scheduled airline from both Newcastle and Birmingham Airport, according to numbers from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The independent UK regional airline took the top spot at Birmingham and Newcastle from January to June 2008, ahead of airlines including KLM, BA, Lufthansa, easyJet and Ryanair.
The CAA’s punctuality statistics, analysed by on-line aviation analysts Flightontime.info, revealed that almost 94% and 89% of Eastern Airways flights departed from Birmingham and Newcastle within 15 minutes (defined by the CAA as on time). Any delays averaged 4 minutes at Birmingham and 6½ minutes at Newcastle.
For two years, Eastern Airways has been the number one airline for punctuality at both Birmingham and Newcastle and is on target for a third full year at both airports, a spokesman said.
