Aeromexico is the most on-time airline in the world, according to a data company that compiled figures for 2024. Cirium said in its annual ranking released on Thursday that nearly 87% of the Mexican airline's flights were on time in 2024. That puts Aeromexico slightly ahead of Saudi Arabian airline Saudia and Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines. Delta was the best-scoring U.S. airline despite a July computer outage that caused thousands of flight cancellations. Canadian airlines WestJet and Air Canada, along with Denver-based budget airline Frontier, were at the bottom of Cirium's rankings among airlines in North America.

Thousands of flights have been canceled after a worldwide internet outage hit many leading airlines, forcing passengers to scramble to save their vacations and other trips. In the United States, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Spirit Airlines and Allegiant Air had their flights grounded for varying amounts of time on Friday. Some airlines are issuing waivers to let customers change travel plans. Travel experts say the outage is going to have ripple effects for a few days. Because flights are already packed for the busy summer vacation season, there are a relatively small number of empty seats that airlines can use to rebook passengers stranded from all the canceled flights.
