There are so many components to a successful flight when you're on vacation, many of which are well beyond your control. A big one is everything happening on time. If a flight leaves late for any reason, that can throw all of your plans off. That's especially true if you need to make any connecting flights along the way. Almost every traveler has done a mad dash through an airport in a vain attempt to make their next flight after their first one left really late.
When it comes to punctuality, some airlines have better reputations than others. Air Canada has often been rated the worst among major North American airlines with only 63% of its flights landing on time in 2023. That's not exactly horrible, but it's still not great. Air Canada placed behind it's main Canadian competitor WestJet. JetBlue Airways and Frontier Airlines were also rated more punctual than Air Canada in 2023.
Aeromexico, on the other hand, has proven to be incredibly reliable. In 2024, almost 87% of their flights were in time, a significant achievement in the world of air travel. To be considered punctual, a flight has to arrive within 15 minutes of its scheduled gate time. Naturally, the airline cannot control some issues like the weather which do cause significant delays. Still, being this consistently punctual says a lot about the quality of the service Aeromexico offers.
Founded in 1934, Aeromexico's main hub and headquarters are both located in Mexico City. It offers flights to 90 destinations around the world. Not surprisingly, its most prolific number of destinations are in Mexico and the United States. Additionally, it is a founding member of the SkyTeam Airline Alliance which also includes Korean Air, Air France, and Delta Air Lines.
