The headline number
ANA consistently ranks #1 or #2 globally on the 15-minute metric, running in the high 80s in 2026.
Why Japan's OTP leads the world
- Cultural bias toward exact schedule adherence.
- HND and NRT operations are tightly choreographed.
- Crew rotation and tail rotation are conservative by design.
Where to be careful
- Typhoon season (Aug–Oct) introduces episodic disruption.
- Last-flight-of-day bank at HND is sensitive to inbound delays.
Booking advice
- Use HND over NRT for connections to Tokyo (closer, faster transit).
- Star Alliance partner connections work well at HND.
- Pin inbound aircraft on long-haul; ANA frees up info early.
