Cirium’s data also shows that Vueling attained the highest punctuality score of all low-cost airlines for departures out of Barcelona (83.3%) Paris-Orly (75.4%) and Rome (77%) in the first half of 2023.

In June, as per the “The On-Time Performance Review”, Vueling achieved an average punctuality rate of 76.9% for the more than 18,900 flights operated.
