Gatwick ranked worst airport in UK for flight issues with average delay of 27 minutes
Gatwick was the worst airport in the UK for flight delays last year, an investigation has found.
Departures from the West Sussex airport were an average of nearly 27 minutes behind schedule in 2023, according to analysis of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) data by the PA news agency.
The airport, which is the second-busiest in the UK, was badly affected by air traffic control (ATC) staff shortages across last year, and repeatedly suffered the same problem in its own control tower.
