At Belfast International Airport, the Easyjet Europe flight to Palma De Mallorca in Spain was the most likely to be delayed, with 25.7% of the 76 flights that took off in the year to April running at least 15 minutes late. The average delay for the flight was 15 minutes, and 1.3% of flights were cancelled in the 12 months.BELFAST INTERNATIONAL TO PALMA DE MALLORCA IN SPAIN - EASYJET EUROPE - 25.
The proportion of flights delayed for more than 15 minutes leaving UK airports in April this year was 32.9%, compared to 22.0% in March. At the same time the average delay rose from 12 minutes in March, comparable to the average of 11 minutes across the whole year, to 18 minutes in April. Airports and airlines, which cut jobs during lockdowns, have struggled to recruit staff as demand for holidays has returned, with problems blamed on the resulting shortage of staff. Heathrow Airport has since put a cap of 100,000 passengers in place for the summer holidays, 4,000 fewer than was scheduled, saying this was the maximum number airlines, airline ground handlers and the airport can serve.
