FLIGHTSTATS, a flight tracking firm, has just released its latest study of flight delays at airports around the globe. Of the world's busiest airports, the report (pdf) gave three Asian airports, three European airports and four North American airports top-ten scores for their punctuality. Tokyo's Haneda International (HND) takes the top slot, with 95% of flights arriving on-time. The chart shows the best performing of the big international airports for June 2013.
