This year’s holidaymakers have faced a significant amount of disruption, especially in the UK. The latest published data from Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) shows that some airlines have performed exceptionally well in handling the airport chaos, while others have faced significant issues.

The best performance has been recorded by Aer Lingus which has an average delay of three minutes and 12 seconds. Budget carriers like EasyJet have also performed really well, with an average delay of three minutes and 12 seconds. Another budget airway Ryanair has also scored really well.

The worst airline to perform is Wizz Air from last year. The average is 14 minutes and 24 seconds behind schedule for Wizz air. The Hungarian company operates from 10 UK airports that including Gatwick, Luton and Cardiff.

Tui is the second airline to make a delay of 13 minutes and 18 seconds. British Airways includes subsidiary BA CityFlyer third at 12 minutes and 42 seconds. Aster this there is Virgin Atlantic that has made a delay of 12 minutes. Longanair has made a delay of 11 minutes and seconds.

The entire analysis of CAA figures shows that budget airlines and competitive airlines are performing best. For the calculations, 2500 flights have been calculated. the cancelled flights have not been included. Eight-and-a-half minutes was the average delay across all airlines in 2021.

Which? Travel editor Guy Hobbs stated that while these findings are definitely saddening, the reality has been far grimmer for the passengers, who had to wait for not only the delayed services but also to endure the cancelled flights.

He also stated that the government should drop ideas of cancelling flights altogether as it makes it difficult for the passengers.
