Despite a challenging operational environment, 2022 saw a 26 per cent jump from 2021 in the number of flights operated globally and Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport and Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport were among the top 10 on-time airports globally, according to aviation analytics firm Cirium.
These two airports were not in the top 10 in 2021.
In its "On-time Performance Review 2022", Cirium said that Bengaluru's airport was the second best airport globally in 2022 in terms of on-time arrivals and departures. Japan's Haneda Airport was the best-performing airport.
Indira Gandhi Airport stood seventh in the on-time rankings globally.
