Americans are unsurprisingly fed up with constant flight delays and cancelations across the U.S., and it is only to be expected. From 2023-2024, passengers lost over 2.1 million hours of time due to travel issues.
Data for 2 million flights from the Bureau of Transportation was probed, and a newly released Places to Travel report concluded that from Jan. 2023 to Feb. 2024, passengers lost 2,100,140 hours and 43 minutes of travel time as a result of delays.A small regional airport in Utah, Provo Airport, accounted for the longest average flight delays during the allotted time period, according to the report.
"This summer will see more planes in the skies, frequent bad weather, and increased use of the nation’s airspace. We are continuously working to address these challenges."Orlando Sanford International in Florida averages delay times for travelers of 1 hour and 35 minutes, according to the report. From Jan. 2023 to Feb. 2024, 9,847 flights landed at Orlando Sanford, and 28.09% of them were delayed. The report shows that passengers experienced 4,095 days, or 11 years, worth of delays.
