Manchester Airport had the most delayed route out of the UK this year, and seven out of the 12 most delayed flights departed our city’s airport.
The recent travel chaos at UK airports is the latest episode in what has been a year of long delays for passengers. Almost a third (30 percent) of flights leaving UK airports took off at least 15 minutes later than planned in the year to June 2023, according to data from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
That’s the latest month for which data is available. The average delay time was 17 minutes.
