Wizz Air was least punctual airline flying from UK last year
Wizz Air has the worst punctuality record of the busiest airlines operating from UK airports, an investigation has found. The carrier’s UK departures were an average of 23 minutes late in 2017, according to Civil Aviation Authority data. Norwegian Air Shuttle has the second-worst performance, followed by Vueling Airlines, Thomas Cook Airlines and BMI Regional. The ranking covers 44 airlines that had at least 2,000 scheduled flights from UK airports last year. A spokeswoman for Wizz Air said: “A number of issues specific to the UK, including airport infrastructure, airspace congestion and slot restrictions contribute to a significantly worse on-time performance of our UK routes compared to the rest of our network.” She said disruption was also caused by “particularly severe winter weather”. <br/>
