AIRPORTS
In the case of airports, the 2019 Punctuality League has taken into account those from whose facilities At least 2.5 million passengers took off; and to establish the OTP index, both arrivals and departures have been assessed.
Using passenger volume, this part of the study is divided in five categories: small (between 2.5 and 5 million passengers who took off from its facilities), medium (between 5 and 10 million), large (between 10 and 20 million), main (between 20 and 30 million) and mega (more than 30 millions) . Thus, the one of Minsk (92.35%) , that of City of Panama (91.11%) , that of Osaka (88.22%) , that of Moscow-Sheremetyevo (87%) and that of tokyo-haneda (85.62%) become the most punctual airports in their respective categories.
In the case of Spain, only Tenerife North in the category of small, where, with 85.20% OTP, it falls from first place in 2018 to fifth; and the of Madrid in the mega. The Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suárez airport gets a 79.16% that is worth it a sixth place compared to the second it occupied last year.
