New data from the CAA, issued this week, reveals that while on-time flight performance improved in 2023 compared with 2022, with around two-thirds (64%) of flights operating within 15 minutes of their scheduled time, performance remains "significantly below" 2019’s 75%.
The CAA’s latest Aviation Trends report reveals UK passenger numbers increased by nearly a quarter last year to 276 million, up 23% compared with 2022 – a third consecutive annual rise that sees passengers numbers at UK airports approaching pre-pandemic figures, "with further demand expected in 2024".
