The worst airlines for delays out of UK airports – The National

New data from the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority has revealed that, for the second year in a row, Wizz Air was the worst major airline for flight delays out of UK airports last year.

Wizz Air operates short-haul flights from eight UK airports, including Birmingham, Edinburgh, Gatwick and Luton. The carrier’s UK departures were an average of 46 minutes and six seconds behind schedule in 2022. This is more than three times longer than the previous year, when it was also ranked in last place for punctuality.

Travel and tourism company Tui was the second worst in terms of punctuality last year, with an average delay of 40 minutes and 18 seconds. It was followed by Qatar Airways at 31 minutes and 48 seconds; Turkish Airlines at 29 minutes and 30 seconds; and Pegasus Airlines, at 27 minutes and 18 seconds.
