London Gatwick has been ranked the UK's most delay-prone airport for the second consecutive year, with flights departing an average of 23 minutes late in 2024. This represents a slight improvement from 2023's average of 27 minutes. Contributing factors include air traffic control disruptions and staffing shortages at the airport’s outsourced control tower. However, the airport's representatives have expressed optimism for improvement in 2025, stating that measures have been taken to enhance performance. In contrast, UK-wide average flight delays reduced from 20 minutes and 42 seconds to 18 minutes and 24 seconds last year.
Gatwick Airport has once again been named the UK's most delay-prone airport, as flights departed an average of 23 minutes late in 2024, the worst performance among major airports.
Despite improvements in overall punctuality across the UK, Gatwick remains at the bottom of the table for the second consecutive year due to ongoing air traffic control disruptions.
