Flight Delays the Norm in the UK, but BMI Flies Punctually
There’s probably no particular country around the world where travelers are blessed with consistently punctual airline departures – but if there is, please me about it and I’ll move there right away!
This week in the news there has been plenty of discussion about the punctuality of flight departures in Britain, after the official statistics for January to September of 2007 were published.
BMI Regional most punctual airline:
The airline that came out looking best of all from these statistics was BMI Regional, a budget airline that flies mostly around Britain, and 91% of its flights departed on time, with average delays of six minutes – that’s the kind of delay I can live with. The parent company, BMI, was also a good performer, being the most punctual airline to fly out of Heathrow Airport, which is notorious for delays and problems. BMI flies all around Europe, the Middle East and Africa and is looking to open up routes to the USA after a recent rule change.
If you’re trying to pick an airline flying in or out of Britain that minimizes your delays, you can always check the FlightOnTime.info website which is full of facts and figures to help you make your decision.
