Tourism Minister, Mamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane, has congratulated SAA for being
named as one of the top-performing airlines globally for on-time performance
(OTP) by travel data and analytics company, Cirium.
The International Airlines Transport Associationˇ¦s benchmark of
OTP is that an airline is on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of the
scheduled time of arrival or departs within 15 minutes of the scheduled
departure time.
