Thai Airways (TG) July 2025 Operational Report
Flight Activity OverviewTotal arriving flights: 7,208Year-over-year change: +1.52%Thai Airways operated a steady schedule during the peak summer period, with growth of 1.52% driven by resilient leisure demand to Thailand and firm regional traffic to China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Capacity was deployed conservatively out of Bangkok Suvarnabhumi to protect connection quality and yields. This approach supported more predictable flows through the network while maintaining competitive presence on trunk routes.On-Time Performance and CancellationsOn-time arrival rate: 93.30%Year-over-year change (on-time rate): +5.58%Cancelled flights: 50Year-over-year change (cancellations): +194.12%Punctuality improved to a high level despite afternoon thunderstorm patterns and heavy air traffic flow management around Bangkok. The reliability gain reflects tighter block-time planning, proactive aircraft substitutions, and faster ground turns enabled by standardized ramp procedures. Cancellations were concentrated around several weather-affected days and precautionary schedule resets to prevent wider knock-on delays.Key HubsBangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) remains the core hub, organizing long-haul departures to Europe in evening wave banks and regional returns during daytime periods. Feeder flows from Chiang Mai and Phuket strengthen domestic connectivity, while partner links across Southeast Asia broaden the catchment. The banked structure at BKK targets short connection times—often within two hours—without compromising ground buffers during the monsoon season.OutlookFor travelers, Thai Airways offers strong operational reliability with on-time arrivals above ninety percent, making it a solid option for both point‑to‑point and connecting journeys. During the rainy season, consider choosing morning departures and allowing extra time for tight connections through Bangkok. Into late summer, the airline plans to preserve punctuality with additional standby crews, flexible aircraft rotations, and selective frequency increases on high‑demand Asia routes.

Saudia (SV) July 2025 Operational Report
Flight Activity Overview Total arriving flights: 17,787Year-over-year change: +8.32% Saudia grew arriving activity to match strong summer demand across Saudi Arabia and wider West Asia. Traffic benefited from leisure travel to coastal cities and steady business flows on regional corridors. Capacity additions on short- and medium-haul routes and schedule densification around evening peaks helped absorb demand. The year-over-year increase also reflects a more stable schedule compared with last year’s summer disruptions in parts of the region. On-time Performance and Cancellations On-time arrival rate: 95.92%Year-over-year change (on-time rate): -0.15%Cancelled flights: 99Year-over-year change (cancellations): -53.30% Punctuality remained very high at 95.92%, even with extreme heat and occasional air traffic flow management measures in busy Gulf airspace. Minor softening versus last year stems from heavier holiday loads and longer taxi-out times at peak hours. Cancellations dropped sharply as the airline deployed spare capacity, tightened aircraft rotation, and added buffer time in ground operations. Improved coordination with airports and ground handlers also reduced knock-on delays from isolated weather events. Key Hubs Jeddah (JED) anchors westbound long-haul and pilgrimage flows, while Riyadh (RUH) concentrates government, corporate and growing connecting traffic. Dammam (DMM) supports energy-sector demand and links to South Asia. Across these hubs, the carrier uses wave structures in late evening and early morning to maximize short-haul feed into medium- and long-haul departures, improving minimum connection times and aircraft utilization. Outlook For travelers, Saudia offers reliable operations and broad regional connectivity in July’s peak. Expect punctuality to remain high as additional standby crews and contingency aircraft stay in rotation, though midday heat and holiday peaks can lengthen ground times. The airline plans to refine bank structures at JED and RUH, add self-service options, and expand coordination with airports ahead of late-summer and autumn peaks. New seasonal links within West Asia and selective capacity increases on high-demand leisure routes are planned to preserve schedule integrity while accommodating growth.
