Worst airlines for flight delays from UK airports ranked – from Wizz Air to Tui

Wizz Air has been ranked as the airline most likely to be delayed in the UK for the second year in a row.

Most of us have let out a big sigh of annoyance when we're sat on the plane ready for take-off only to be told there's a delay and you'll be sitting on the tarmac for a while.

It can be frustrating and add a lot of extra time to your journey.

Passengers flying from UK airports on Wizz Air were delayed by 46 minutes and six seconds on average in 2022, according to Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) data analysed by the PA news agency.

The Hungarian airline was also ranked last for punctuality last year, but Wizz Air's 2022 delays were on average three times longer than previously, reports the Mirror.

The big increase in delays for Wizz Air and other airlines came in a turbulent year as airports and the aviation industry started back up after Covid-19 lockdowns and travel bans.
