01.04.11
Eastern Airways has been named Newcastle Airport’s most punctual scheduled airline for the fourth time in five years. The airline, which has been operating from Newcastle for more than eight years, was the best on-time performer again in 2010, ahead of airlines including KLM, Brussels Airlines, British Airways, Ryanair, easyJet and flybe.
Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) departure and arrival data was analysed by flightontime.info and showed that 89% of Eastern Airways’ Newcastle services departed within 15 minutes, with any delays on average only 8 minutes. Kay Ryan, Eastern Airways’ commercial director, said: ‘This is a tremendous achievement and is down to the commitment and dedication of our crews, engineers and staff in Newcastle. Our customers expect reliable, dependable transport and we will endeavour to further reduce our average delay time of 8 minutes to ensure we remain Newcastle’s number one airline for on-time departures.’
