Cirium, a data analytics business in the aviation and travel sectors, has placed Thai AirAsia as the world's third most punctual low-cost airline and the most reliable carrier in Asia-Pacific nations in 2022. They reported an average on-time percentage of 97.47%.
Thai AirAsia's Santisuk Klongchaiya, the company's CEO, commented: "Punctuality is a standard attribute that not all businesses can achieve. This is what distinguishes Thai AirAsia. It results from solid airline management, a great workforce, and a continuous commitment to continuously enhancing customer service." Santisuk stressed that Thai AirAsia's timeliness was equally vital to the safety of its customers and vowed to maintain its reputation as the world's most punctual airline.
Thai AirAsia has been included on several worldwide best lists, according to Khaosod. The airline was named the most punctual airline in the world by Flightstats in 2013 and was listed as the third most punctual airline in the world by OAG Aviation Worldwide in 2019.
In addition, Skytrax recognised Thai AirAsia as the top low-cost carrier in the world for 13 years, from 2009 to 2022.
The worldwide low-cost carrier operating under the AirAsia name, Thai AirAsia X, filed for bankruptcy in May last year. Fewer international travellers during the epidemic had an impact on the airline.
Three weeks ago, Santisuk told the public that the return of tourists from other countries, especially China, should help the airline get back on its feet.
The airline anticipates serving 90% as many people as before the outbreak.
