Reliability Stalls: Why Gemini and Premier Are Nearly 40 Points Apart

Global schedule reliability slipped again in June, and the gap between carrier alliances is now too wide to ignore.

In this episode, Lars Jensen and Caroline Weaver cover:

• June reliability data: global on-time performance down to 63% from 65% in May, holding well below pre-pandemic norms for months running
• The alliance breakdown: Gemini at 93.4%, its best showing since launch, versus MSC around 80%, Ocean Alliance around 70%, and Premier Alliance down near 55%
• How Sea-Intelligence actually measures reliability, including the three to four week lock-in window and why plus/minus one calendar day is the right yardstick, not the wrong one
• NYFI this week: Asia-USWC down 1% to $5,818, Asia-USEC up 7% to $7,793, driven by a capacity split between the two coasts, and Asia-NEUR down 3% at $4,797.
