Recorded outcomes

  • On time 86.2% 431
  • Delayed >15 min 7.8% 39
  • Cancelled 6.0% 30
  • Missing departure time 0.0% 0

All recorded flights with a known scheduled local time, counted once. Missing actual times are shown separately.

On time means departing no more than 15 minutes after schedule. Cancelled flights and flights missing departure times are excluded from the on-time rate and average delay.

Partial records from Brazil's ANAC Brazil's ANAC records only the part of Santa Maria Airport's traffic that touches its own network. These are not Santa Maria Airport's busiest destinations or its overall on-time rate.

Flights recorded between Nov 1, 2024 and Jul 30, 2026, counted from flight records published by Brazil's ANAC. Not a current timetable.
