What causes delays? (FY2025)
Across all airlines, 64% of delays were caused by a late-arriving aircraft: the plane for your flight was held up on its previous trip. The first flight of the day has no previous trip, so an early-morning departure is less exposed to this knock-on effect.
Flights departing more than 15 minutes after schedule, by cause.
