Usual suspects as data reveals worst airports for delays
Edinburgh Evening News
|April 26, 2025
New analysis has revealed the UK's worst airports for flight delays, with Edinburgh coming in at number seven.
-
The Capital airport recorded an average delay of 18 minutes and six seconds.
However, Gatwick has retained its position as the UK's worst airport for flight delays, as it continues to suffer from air traffic control (ATC) disruption.
Departures from the West Sussex airport were an average of more than 23 minutes behind schedule in 2024, according to analysis of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) data by the PA news agency.
This represents an improvement from nearly 27 minutes during the previous 12 months but is longer than at any other UK airport.
