Figures from aviation data company OAG, published in the Financial Times, show that just 0.34% of flights from UK airports were cancelled in the first week of August. This compares to a cancellation rate of more than 5% in the final week of June.
OAG’s data shows that cancellation rates from UK airports fell throughout the second half of July after Heathrow and Gatwick both imposed capacity caps for the peak summer season as they struggle to cope with a huge rebound in traffic after two years of Covid-19 restrictions.
