Why the
world trusts
our rankings
Cirium applies the highest level of quality assurance
to the data that supports the On-Time Performance
Review. We ensure the highest level of accuracy,
timeliness, and coverage of the data, which is why
the data and analyses are trusted by airlines and
airports globally.

The experienced and dedicated


Cirium data team collect, verify,
and clean the data and then
apply logic, algorithms and
security to it.
This comprehensive structure is in place to achieve
the ‘quality balance’ of the data that we use to rank
airlines and airports.

Sophisticated tools and statistics validate the


information and remove outliers and multisource
verification fills in the gaps in single data sources.
In cases of conflict, advanced algorithms identify
the most reasonable data points, crosscheck
the information, and determine consistency of
information. Our expert team apply their in-depth
knowledge in data and aviation to add extra validity
to the data.

Cirium has a strict definition for what we consider


as flight coverage for an airline or airport. For an
airline to qualify for Cirium’s On-Time Performance
rankings, a carrier must meet the coverage
standards, and we must have data fields which
include estimated departures, actual departures,
departure dates and arrival gates.

Cirium’s approach to on-time performance data and


the process involved means we immediately notice
when changes or deviations occur.
