The read on Widerøe
What the record actually tells you about flying Widerøe
Widerøe runs about 82% on time across 12,283 flights of official all-cause history — one of the better on-time records in the data. On cancellations, cancellations are on the high side at 5.2%, which can matter more than a delay.
It's not just whether a flight is late, but how late. When Widerøe runs behind, the typical delay lands around 7 minutes, and only a small slice — about 0.4% — slip two hours or more, so the worst-case tail is relatively contained.
Reliability isn't uniform across Widerøe's map. Its strongest route in the data is SVG–ABZ, running around 86% on time. Where a single carrier flies the same city pair well or poorly comes down to the hub, the aircraft rotation, and the time of day as much as the airline itself.
