British Airways has been labelled the nation's worst airline for cancelling flights, grounding 12 times more services than top performer Ryanair, new data suggests. The study shows the UK's flag carrier has performed worst, cancelling 3.5 per cent of its flights to June this year.
Surprisingly, no-frills carrier Ryanair was the best-performing airline worldwide grounding just 0.3 per cent of flights during the same time period according to figures from air travel intelligence company OAG, reports the Mirror. Figures show a British Airways service is 12 times more likely to be cancelled than a Ryanair route.
Summer figures are unlikely to be much better for the national carrier, which has recently cancelled 10,000 more flights until the end of October. Worst airline in the world for cancellations is China Eastern, largely due to the ongoing lockdown in its Shanghai base since March.
