The UK’s Worst Airport For Flight Delays Revealed

The title of this post, is the same as that, as this article in The Times.

This is the sub-heading.

The shortage of air traffic controllers is a European problem but some in the industry have blamed early retirement during the pandemic

These are the first two paragraphs.

Gatwick was the country’s worst airport for delays last year as it struggled with air traffic issues and capacity.

Departures were an average of more than 23 minutes late, according to analysis of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) data. It is the second year in a row it has topped the late league table.

It does look that the first paragraph is saying they need more air traffic controllers and that second runway.

Ironically, one of the adverts in my copy of the article was for Avanti West Coast.
