New study reveals which flights from the UK are likely to be delayed or cancelled

One of the worst parts about going on holiday is unexpected delays…or worse, your flight is cancelled. You may think that this is just your bad luck. However, Mirror has created a tool based on the data from the Civil Aviation Authority to form a pattern of which flights, to which destination, leaving from certain airports will most likely be delayed or cancelled.

This new study comes after thousands of Brits were left stranded due to an issue with air traffic control in the UK. So what destinations and airports are more likely to experience problems?

These three destinations are most likely to have delays

According to the data collected by Mirror, the flights from Manchester to Bridgetown, Barbados, with TUI are the most likely to be delayed by at least 15 minutes in 2023 so far. The data from the Civil Aviation Authority showed that 84% of flights to Bridgetown have been delayed, with an average delay time of 72 minutes.

Next on the list are the flights from Gatwick to Vienna, Austria, and Nice, France via Wizz Air. According to the data, 77% of these flights are delayed by at least 15 minutes.
