After analysing aviation data, the BBC have recently revealed which airports and routs suffer the most delays. And the winner is (or is that loser?)…London Gatwick.
Passengers flying from Gatwick experienced on average a delay of 18 minutes for each flight they took.
A spokesperson from Gatwick suggested that numerous different circumstances beyond their control had contributed heavily to the delays. Air traffic control strikes were sighted as a major contributory factor.
The flight suffering the most delays was Manchester to New York with Pakistan Airlines, which was delayed on average by 88 minutes each time it flew.
Of course if you’ve suffered a delay of more than 3 hours, you may be entitled to up to £545 in compensation. Give us a call our simply put your details into our claim calculator to check if you have a claim.
