Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is a global standard for efficiency, but like any major hub, its on-time performance can be affected by a variety of factors, from weather to global air traffic control issues.
July 2024 On-Time Performance
According to the latest data released by the Airport Authority Hong Kong, HKIA maintained a strong on-time departure performance of 88% for July 2024. On-time arrival performance was slightly lower at 85%.
On-time performance is generally defined as a flight that arrives or departs within 15 minutes of its scheduled time.
The primary factors contributing to delays in July were attributed to regional air traffic control constraints and isolated adverse weather events in the Pearl River Delta region.
How This Affects You
While an 85-88% on-time rate is excellent, a small percentage of flights may still experience a delay. A 30-minute delay might not seem like much, but it can be the difference between a smooth connection and a stressful sprint through the terminal.
