MANILA — Philippine Airlines (PAL) has been named Asia Pacific’s most on-time airline in 2025 by global aviation analytics firm Cirium, achieving an on-time arrival performance of 83.12 percent, the highest in the region.

“This achievement reflects the discipline, professionalism, and teamwork of our entire organization, particularly our frontline teams who operate our flights safely and reliably every day,” PAL Holdings, Inc. president Lucio Tan III said in a statement on Monday.

“It also reflects what can be achieved through strong collaboration with our private sector partners, including MacroAsia Corporation, Lufthansa Technik Philippines, New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation, Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc., and LIPAD Corp, as well as the continued support of our government partners.”

PAL said Cirium’s on-time performance program is widely regarded as the industry benchmark for airline reliability, tracking millions of flights worldwide using transparent and objective methodologies.

Punctuality, the airline said, remains a core commitment to passengers, made possible through close coordination across flight operations, engineering, airport services, ground handling, and all customer-facing and corporate support teams.

The airline added it remains focused on sustaining exceptional operational performance and further strengthening reliability.
