According to analysis of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) data Leeds Bradford Airport is the 10th worst in the UK for flight disruption
The UK's worst airports for flight delays have been revealed, with Leeds Bradford among the top ten. New statistics show departures from West Midlands airport were an average of 12 minutes and 24 seconds late taking-off in 2021, according to analysis of Civil Aviation Authority data.
Leeds Bradford airport has one terminal and hosts airlines such as Jet2, TUI and Ryanair and features at number 10 on the list of worst airports. A spokesman for Birmingham Airport, sitting at the top of the list said: "Last year was a dark time for aviation when Birmingham Airport was reduced to just 25% of normal resource and capacity due to Covid.
"That should involve stronger powers for the CAA, including the ability to fine airlines directly when they break the law. Ministers should also drop their ill-conceived plans to slash compensation rates for delayed or cancelled domestic flights."
