RyanAir have a fanfare if a flight is on time. Literally. If you land on time, the cabin intercom will play a fanfare and a message along the lines of "This has been another On Time flight!". And they're only on time in the first place because they tend to inflate the durations they advertise: they'll say a 2h flight takes 2h 15m, then act all surprised when you hit the tarmac after two hours.
- notahacker 12y agoThey're on time because their business model depends on them having minimal turnaround times, and they mostly fly out of small airports with relatively little chance of a holdup (and avoid Heathrow like the plague) and don't have to worry about flight connections. Empirically comparing "on time" performance is an inexact science at best (and most of the delay factors, including those that make a flight regularly take ~15 mins longer than an ostensibly similar one, are outside an airline's control), but efficient flight ops are to Ryanair what effective search is to Google.
