SAA was ranked in the category for Middle East and Africa, making the airline the leading African on-time performance carrier 2019. Over 90% of South African Airways’ departures from London Heathrow Terminal Two departed on time during 2019. “According to the International Airlines Transport Association’s benchmark of OTP, an airline is on-time when it arrives within 15 minutes of the scheduled time of arrival or departs within 15 minutes of the scheduled departure. Customers always have a choice and those who elect to fly with us recognise that we are a dependable airline. We place a high premium on punctuality as measured through OTP. It is one of our most important customer impact performance indicators” said Zuks Ramasia, SAA Acting CEO.
