"We are very proud to be the most punctual airline in the world. It's the result of the dedication and hard work of our staff, who every day provide our customers with that unique service, that characterize SAS. With our innovative check-in solutions, being amongst the first airlines to introduce Fast Track security and now being the world's most punctual airline, no competitor can come close to SAS in offering time-efficient air traveling," said BC Marek Pedersen, SAS Scandinavian Airlines District Manager Latvia & East Europe.

"It is extra pleasing to see that whilst SAS is now the world's most punctual major airline, our Norwegian airline Widerøe is the world's most punctual across all airlines, both minor and major airlines. Widerøe's punctuality for August was an unrivalled 95.72%. So we are extremely proud that the SAS Group holds both titles," says M.Pedersen.
