Suvarnabhumi (shown) and other busy Asian airports had poor results in OAG's review of on-time performance. Thailand's international gateway ranked 442nd among 489 airports in the biannual on-time performance (OTP) ratings conducted by OAG, a British flight data analyst. A total of 49 airports were accredited five-star ratings, with OTP scores ranging from 85.2 to 92.8. The poor OAG ratings for Suvarnabhumi underscore severe overcrowding, a critical capacity shortfall and a refusal to keep a lid on flight movements, all of which affect the OTP score. Airports of Thailand Plc, the state enterprise that runs Suvarnabhumi and five other large airports, had no comment on the OAG review when contacted by the Bangkok Post.
