Analysis of 25 airports rates Gatwick as second worst and Heathrow as most punctualThe worst UK airports for flight punctuality have been revealed, with the longest delays at London’s Luton. The ranking takes into account every scheduled and charter flight from 25 of the UK’s major airports, although cancelled flights are not included. Heathrow, the UK’s busiest airport, had the best performance, with aircraft typically taking off 11 minutes late. Punctuality data enabled passengers to “make informed choices about which airports they fly from”, a CAA spokesman said. Payouts range from €250 (£219) to €600 (£525) depending on the length of the flight and how long it was delayed.
