Is British Airways on time?

73.9% of 10,631 tracked flights landed within 15 minutes of their usual time (4 September 2026 to 1 October 2026). That ranks British Airways 145 of 162 airlines in the Touchdown Index. 7.2% were more than an hour late.

The Touchdown Index measures each flight against its own usual arrival time, from public ADS-B tracking, rather than against the timetable. How it works and how it compares with official figures.

Each British Airways aircraft we tracked flew about 5 hours a day on average over the last four weeks (247 aircraft, 11,340 flights tracked).

2 aircraft that flew regularly for British Airways in the four weeks before were not seen flying in the last four (Boeing 777-300ER, Airbus A380-800): parked for maintenance, stored, or moved elsewhere.

Counts are aircraft seen, not the full fleet: aircraft in maintenance or flying where tracking is thin are missed, and aircraft leased in from other operators are included. Source: adsb.lol community ADS-B data (CC0).
