Bristol Airport has been listed as one of the airports in the UK where it's most likely your flight will get cancelled. New research by hotel software company HotelTechReport analysed a recent data release from the Civil Aviation Authority, which showed the number of flights, cancellations and average delays for UK international airports between January and June to find which airport is performing worst for cancellations so far this year.
It found that Southampton Airport had 5.82 per cent of all flights cancelled in the first half of this year, with a total of 6,852, of which 399 were cancelled. When studying every flight that was delayed at the airport, the average delay was 15.82 minutes. The percentage of cancelled flights is more than two percentage points higher than London City Airport, in second place.
The central London airport had 715 total cancelled flights between January and June, with 18,788 flights in total, giving it a cancellation percentage of 3.81 per cent. However, the average delay of 10.42 minutes was the lowest in the top ten and the lowest in the 25 UK airports studied.
