Air Canada's On-Time Performance
At Air Canada, the punctuality of our flights is a top priority, and comes second only to ensuring the safety of our passengers and crew. For this reason, we work very hard to meet every scheduled departure and arrival time - always without compromising safety.
Air Canada makes its on-time performance* readily available on a quarterly basis, and compares it to the performance of U.S. carriers**.
