Scandinavia – The Most Punctual Airports in Europe

According to Eurocontrol, a pan-European civil-military organization dedicated to supporting European aviation, Scandinavia has the most punctual airports in Europe.

Sweden’s largest airport Stockholm Arlanda had the best punctuality in 2024 for departing flights among the top 30 largest airports in Europe. In 2024, Stockholm Arlanda Airport had a punctuality rate of 80 per cent for departing flights. This is an increase of four per cent compared to 2023. Oslo Airport Gardermoen came in second place in Eurocontrol’s annual overview, followed by Copenhagen Kastrup Airport in third.

“It is very gratifying that Arlanda was able to deliver the best punctuality for departing flights in Europe in 2024. Punctuality is always a top priority, and we will continue our targeted efforts to strengthen it further together with all our employees and partners who contribute to Arlanda’s efficiency. In recent years, Swedavia has made major investments in Arlanda, including a new modern security control and the new Marketplace. In 2025, the remaining parts of the new Marketplace will open and work to develop the airport will continue,” said Jonas Abrahamsson, Swedavia’s president and CEO. In a press release.
