Do You Know Your Airline's ImPax Percentage?

Passengers that experience cancellations, or medium and major delays without a quick resolution, produce almost 100% of an airline’s negative media that leads to customer churn.

This small percentage of passengers is an airline’s ImPax Percentage.

An airline’s ImPax Percentage is calculated as:


On average, an airline’s ImPax Percentage accounts for less than 1 in 13 flights (< 8%).

The Lower an Airline’s ImPax %, the Better.

The aim of this report is to help airlines focus their recovery operations by better understanding their ImPax Percentage in the context of:

  • Passenger estimates
  • Competitor airlines
  • Region, Tier, and Class
  • Sentiment analysis of monthly reviews

Global Disruptions Overview

This month’s report analyses the disruption data of 294 airlines totalling 790,702 disrupted flights, across 3,155,691 planned flights, globally.

In August 2025, global aviation endured major disruptions yet showed improved reliability. United Airlines’ tech outage delayed 1,000+ flights, Air Canada’s strike grounded 130,000 passengers daily, and Typhoon Podul forced cancellations in Taiwan. Newark ATC failures, weather chaos, a United diversion to Greenland, and Virgin Australia’s lavatory breakdown added to turmoil. Despite this, global flight volumes dipped just 1.2%, delays dropped 10% versus July, and cancellations improved 30%. Pakistan’s airspace ban further strained routes, but overall, the industry demonstrated resilience, with operational performance improving month-on-month despite headline-grabbing crises across North America, Asia, and Australia.

Region

Asia Pacific

In August 2025, APAC aviation faced major weather-related challenges but overall stability in traffic. Typhoon Podul canceled over 400 flights in Taiwan, heavily affecting Taoyuan and Kaohsiung airports and airlines like Mandarin, China Airlines, and EVA Air. Hong Kong suspended 15 flights to Taiwan as the storm intensified. Later, thick fog at Adelaide Airport caused 10 delays, 14 diversions, and several cancellations, including international services. Despite these events, overall flight volumes and disruption rates in the region remained steady month-on-month.

Sentiment Analysis

Sample Reviews

“We travelled at short notice back home due to death in the family. The staff rebooked within 2 days. We explained our case and they gave us the best seats possible in economy. We have never slept so much on overseas flights. The staff are highly attentive, helpful, friendly and beautifully presented. The food was outstanding...the plane cabin and seats were new. We have flown many airlines but Singapore Airlines tops them all. On top of that we transited at the best airport in the world [Airport]. Well done to all the staff and crew. You won't find better. P S This is not a paid review.”

[Tier 1, FSC]

“My husband and I booked a flight from [CITY] to [CITY] (departing [DATE], returning [DATE]) with a long transit in [CITY]. While our outbound flight was fine, on return, the [AIRLINE] staff at [CITY] airport refused to provide our boarding passes, claiming we needed a visa due to an 18-hour transit. The actual issue was only a 5-minute delay that would have made our transit cross into the next day, for which we requested their assistance—but they ignored us completely. This careless and dismissive behavior left us stranded, despite having valid tickets. The airline never asked for a transit visa during booking, which we would have arranged if informed. Because of their negligence, we had to purchase another ticket costing $5,000, causing immense financial and emotional stress. It is shocking that a reputed airline could treat passengers so irresponsibly. Who will take responsibility for this unnecessary loss and hardship?”

Europe

In August 2025, Europe’s aviation faced significant disruptions yet operational performance improved. Ground staff strikes in Spain and Portugal caused rolling delays and cancellations, while ATC shortages added network strain. EasyJet and Finnair canceled 21 flights, and storms, including Storm Floris, grounded over 60 flights across the UK, France, and Spain. Eurostar and Eurocontrol restrictions further affected cross-border travel. Despite these events, flight volumes remained steady, and overall delays and cancellations dropped nearly 20% compared to July, reflecting resilient operations amid turbulence.

Sample Reviews

“Certainly wouldn’t let reviews put you off, first time flying with [airline] and I haven’t really got a bad thing to say. Check in process is easy (people saying it isn’t might not be technically minded or are lacking common sense), recommend if you travel light to just get priority boarding, plenty of retailers make bags to fit measurements, it means you don’t even go to the check in desk you just go straight through security, and it was more than big enough for me for 7 days. Cabin crew were class both ways and couldn’t do enough for you. The only thing I would say is to not be stingy and pay the 20 quid for extra leg room the flights are cheap enough to do so, I’m 5 4’ and the standard seats weren’t great for me going out, extra legroom paid on the way back and the rest near me were empty.”

[Tier 2, FSC]

“[AIRLINE] has the worst online booking system. It is an absolute disgrace. I selected flights on [DATE] but payment failed in excess of 100+ attempts despite using 3 different valid cards, PayPal and friends cards at different locations on various devices. Payment always failed. [AIRLINE] acknowledged the fault was at their end and advised on [DATE] that I would now have to pay the current price of about 800 pounds as opposed to 340 pounds when I attempted to first pay. I provided several screen shots of the attempts I made including the 340 pound fare with the error message. Never fly [AIRLINE] again.”

North America

In August 2025, North American aviation faced significant disruptions yet showed improved reliability. United Airlines’ August 7 tech glitch grounded flights nationwide, while an Air Canada strike from August 16 stranded 130,000 passengers daily until a deal was reached. Newark Airport’s telecom outage on August 28 halted arrivals with delays of nearly three hours. Weather cancellations and a United diversion to Greenland added strain. Despite these events, the region recorded a 5% drop in flight volumes and a 26% decline in overall delays and cancellations versus July.

Sample Reviews

“I've flown with [AIRLINE] ever since 2011. The onboard experience did take a big hit following COVID, but I have noticed the quality of service steadily improving both on long-haul and domestic routes. I find the flights to/from [CITY] consistently good. On my latest trip, the check-in at [AIRPORT] was easy and passing through security was great; now you don't take anything out of your bags. Onboard, the [AIRLINE] cabin crew were friendly and super-attentive. I could not find fault with any part of the on-board service. I've grown to like [AIRLINE] and feel valued as a customer by this airline.”

[Tier 1, FSC]

“There were a lot of delays on our flight which caused a chain of issues that affected the rest of our trip. The staff did a good job helping to get the flights adjusted and we got to our destination successfully but our bags did not. When trying to discuss what to do with baggage services, we had to call multiple times to get a good answer as the first agent was very dismissive of our worries. Once on board, the economy seats are extremely cramped and the seat backs feel like they are leaning forward when fully upright causing extra discomfort when not reclined. Would not recommend any long duration flights, especially internationally.”

Middle East and Africa

In August 2025, ME&A aviation faced heightened disruptions amid geopolitical tensions and operational issues. Airspace closures in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the UAE forced flight reroutes, affecting destinations like Tel Aviv, Amman, and Iraq. Air India adjusted routes to Europe, North America, and the Middle East, while El Al reported a 55% profit drop due to prior conflict-related closures. In Africa, OR Tambo Airport suffered ATC system failures, and multiple carriers canceled flights across South Africa and West Africa.

Sample Reviews

“[AIRLINE] staff lost my passport at the check in desk. This resulted in making my friend wait for 3 hours. No offer of any reassurance, when the passport was not located, cases were returned and had to go home. [AIRLINE] staff gave us a contact number to contact when a new passport was available and would be put on the next evening flight. New passport obtained but flight now fully booked at [CITY] resulting in having to book another flight from [city] all with added costs. Considering [AIRLINE] is a global company who advertise they are the leaders in aviation, there was no compassion or consideration for the loss of the passport which was lost by their ground crew and even now not getting very far with the complaint lodged. We are appalled at the treatment from this airline and will not settle until this is acknowledged and some sort of compensation is agreed.”

[Tier 1, LCC]

“Atrocious Assistance from [Airline]. The flight was cancelled after check in. Told Flight was delayed . After 5 hours the flight was cancelled. NO ASSISTANCE from ground staff. Offered a flight 2 days later. Infeasible as we had to be in [City] on [Date] for the meeting. I needed to buy a new flight with [Airline] later in the evening. Now [Airline] ignores us when we are claiming back the cost of the [Airline] ticket!””

“I travelled with my family and we all had a superior experience. [AIRLINE] exceeded by far our expectations. Both ground and in-flight personnel were very kind and supportive, doing their best to enhance our trip. We have travelled in business class in several airlines but [AIRLINE] was by far the best of all. We felt like we were at home. Thanks [AIRLINE].”

[Tier 1, LCC]

“I was a loyal customer of [AIRLINE], but my recent experience left me very disappointed. My 78-year-old mom had a flight [NUMBER] from [CITY] to [CITY] on [DATE], with wheelchair assistance. Unfortunately, due to a storm in [CITY], the airplane couldn't land and had to return to [CITY]. The flight arrived back in [CITY[ and dropped off the passengers at 10:00 p.m., leaving them stranded for the night without any food, snacks, or hotel accommodations. The following day, they flew back to [CITY] at 7:30 a.m. My mom ended up spending the night sitting in an airport chair. I do not recommend this airline due to its inadequate support!”
