The Civil Aviation Authority's data reveals average flight delay times for UK airports in 2024, with London Gatwick facing the worst delays at 23.6 minutes. Although this marks a slight improvement from the previous year, Gatwick's delays can be attributed to air traffic control issues and staff shortages. Stansted and Manchester followed as the second-worst, with average delays of 20.3 minutes, while Heathrow's delays averaged 18 minutes. The airport plans improvements for 2025 in response to ongoing challenges.

A spokesperson from Gatwick airport noted, 'Air traffic control restrictions in other parts of Europe have continued to impact the airport. Together with our airlines, we've put in place a robust plan... to improve on-time performance further in 2025.'
