Just when you thought it was safe to sit back and relax in the departure lounge, delays and cancellations are once again affecting passengers as airlines prepare for a tricky few months ahead. Data collected by the Official Aviation Guide, a provider or digital flight information and analytics for the airline industry, revealed the best and worst performing airports across Europe. Airport on-time performance is based on actual departure gate times within 15 minutes of schedule and includes cancellations. Any flights arriving 15 minutes or more after their due landing time were considered to be delayed. The on-time performance metric is a key indicator for airlines, with delays hitting productivity and budgets. While 15 minutes is the industry standard definition of a late landing across Europe, in other regions such as China 30 minutes is the benchmark for an official delay. According to the latest data, recorded from July 1 to July 9, Brussels Airport was the worst performing with 72 per cent of flights delayed and Orio Al Serio Airport in Bergamo, Italy, was the best with just 3 per cent of flights delayed. England, the Netherlands and France all had two airports in the worst performing top 10 list for cancellations, but London Heathrow escaped a mention — despite a recent cap on passenger numbers allowed through the airport this summer and the cancellation of some scheduled flights.
