SÃO PAULO, Jan. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Azul Brazilian Airlines is the most on-time airline in Brazil and the most on-time low cost carrier (LCC) in the Americas.  As reported in the official OAG worldwide airline punctuality rankings, 84.14% of Azul flights arrived within 14 minutes and 59 seconds of their scheduled arrival time.  This on-time metric also makes Azul the fifth most on-time LCC in the world.
