Campaigners are urging the UK Government to step in after a third of flights were found to have run behind schedule last year.
It comes as the Civil Aviation Authority said an "unacceptable" 37 per cent of flights were delayed by at least 15 minutes in 2022. That is up from 17 per cent in 2020 and 2021 and 25 per cent in 2019, before air travel was impacted by Covid-19.
As well as more waiting times than previous years, flights were delayed by an average of 22 minutes, which is 60 percent longer than in 2019.
