UK's worst airports for flight delays revealed as Heathrow warns of more cancellations this summer
"Due to the unique operating environment caused by massive air traffic reductions, the usual pressures did not exist, so flights taking off late were able to catch up en route."
The near 50% increase enraged trade unions as it came after hundreds of jobs were axed as the airport tried to recover from the covid pandemic.There has been travel chaos at a number of UK airports in recent months, including London's Heathrow, which has faced technical malfunctions and high passenger numbers.
Carriers were ordered by the Government and the Civil Aviation Authority last month to make sure their timetables are "deliverable" after the sector was unable to cope with demand during the Platinum Jubilee half-term school holiday period. Problems include "long queue times, delays for passengers with reduced mobility bags not travelling with passengers or arriving late", according to the airport.Punctuality across all UK airports in 2021 was better than before the virus crisis, due to the reduction in flights caused by travel restrictions.
