CAA monitors more UK airports for delays

Thursday, 4 June 20153 min read

Air passengers can now compare flight punctuality at 24 UK airports after the UK Civil Aviation Authority increased the number of airports it monitors.

On-time performance and average delays are now being assessed at 14 more airports.

These are: Aberdeen; Belfast City; Belfast International; Bournemouth; Bristol; Cardiff; Doncaster Sheffield; Durham Tees Valley; East Midlands; Exeter; Jersey; Liverpool, Leeds Bradford and Southampton.

These join 10 other airports already monitored by the CAA, namely: Birmingham; Edinburgh; Gatwick; Glasgow; Heathrow; London City; Luton; Manchester; Newcastle and Stansted.

It means 90% of UK passenger flights are monitored for punctuality.

Iain Osborne, group director for regulatory policy at the CAA, said: "Our expanded coverage means even more air passengers can now see for themselves how well the country’s busiest airports are performing against flight punctuality."
