SAS Named Most Punctual Airline Flying to Israel

January 5, 2026

Great news for travelers flying to Israel! While a Mexican airline clinched the global title for “World’s Most Punctual Airline,” SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) has earned the top spot for punctuality among airlines serving Israel.

This timing couldn’t be better since SAS recently resumed its Copenhagen-Tel Aviv route after a 9-year hiatus. If you’re planning a trip from Scandinavia or connecting through Copenhagen, this could be your most reliable option for arriving on schedule at Ben Gurion Airport.

The rankings also revealed that among the top 10 most punctual airlines worldwide, only one American carrier made the cut – though the specific airline wasn’t disclosed in the original report.

When booking your flight to Israel, punctuality matters more than you might think. Delayed flights can throw off your entire itinerary, especially if you have connecting tours or time-sensitive bookings. SAS’s strong performance record gives you one less thing to worry about when planning your Israel adventure.
