bmi Regional - UK's most punctual airline

The latest official statistics by the Civil Aviation Authority show that bmi Regional is again the most punctual, scheduled airline operating from UK airports.

The data from flightontime.info, putting bmi Regional first out of 35 scheduled airlines, shows that 87.7 per cent of the airline's 3,762 flights between January and March 2010 departed on time.

The exceptional performance by bmi Regional occurred despite the UK experiencing some of its worst ever winter weather earlier this year, which hampered the operations of many other airlines.

bmi Regional was named the most punctual airline operating from UK airports during 2009, retaining the number one position for the fifth consecutive year.

Stewart Adams, managing director, bmi Regional, commented:

“bmi Regional’s aim is to run a punctual and efficient operation every day of the week and these official figures prove that we consistently get it right. Our business and leisure customers need to know that their airline gets them to their destination on time and in comfort, something we intend to continue doing in the months and years ahead.”

bmi Regional offers flights from key UK airports including East Midlands, Manchester, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
