Brazil has twelve of the most punctual airports in the world, according to an annual study by OAG, a British consultancy. Brazilian terminals stood out in the report by appearing in the top 20 of several categories (defined according to annual passenger capacity).
Among the smaller airports – those offering between 2.5 million and 5 million seats on flights per year – three Brazilian terminals are among the top 20: Curitiba (4th place), Fortaleza (8th), and Salvador (13th).
The ranking for medium-sized terminals (5 to 10 million seats on flights per year) is where Brazil achieved the best result, with six airports among the nine most punctual in the world. The list includes the terminals of Viracopos (3rd), Recife (4th), Santos Dumont (5th), Belo Horizonte (6th), Galeão (8th), and Porto Alegre (9th).
As for large airports (10 to 20 million seats on flights per year), Brazil is represented by two terminals – Brasília (3rd) and Congonhas (6th). In the category of 20 to 30 million annual seats, the Guarulhos terminal in São Paulo, the only one in Brazil at this level, ranked 10th on the list, consolidating its position as the only airport in South America of this size in the top 20 of its category.Source: BrazilGovNews
