The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is ranked as one of the most delayed flights from UK airports, according to a BBC report.
The BBC England data unit analysed Civil Aviation Authority data from January 2015 to March 2016.
The investigation showed:
- A Pakistan International Airlines flight from Manchester to New York’s John F Kennedy Airport was late on eight out of 10 recorded flights in 2015.
- Turkmenistan Airlines had the highest number of delays with passengers waiting on average 70 minutes beyond their scheduled time.
- The average delay among all airlines was about 15 minutes.
- Gatwick’s punctuality record compared with an average of 13 minute delays at Heathrow, the only airport with a larger number of flights, and just under 11 minutes per flight from Newcastle Airport over the same period.
