The read on Vueling Airlines

What the record actually tells you about flying Vueling Airlines

Vueling Airlines runs about 71% on time across 90,887 flights of official all-cause history — a middling record — fine on a good day, fragile when conditions turn. On cancellations, cancellations are rare here, at roughly 0.9%.

It's not just whether a flight is late, but how late. When Vueling Airlines runs behind, the typical delay lands around 16 minutes, and only a small slice — about 1.7% — slip two hours or more, so the worst-case tail is relatively contained.

Reliability isn't uniform across Vueling Airlines's map. Its strongest route in the data is BCN–EDI, running around 89% on time, while BHX–BCN is among its weakest at about 54%. That gap is the whole point: judge Vueling Airlines on the route you're actually flying, not on its overall average.
