The average length of delay on scheduled flights fell by two minutes compared to the same period last year, and delays were four minutes shorter at Birmingham Airport compared to the national average.
The airport also performed well for its charter operations, with 74 percent of all flights operating on time, beaten only to the top spot by Newcastle Airport with 76 percent, and better than the national average of 66 percent. The airport suffered increasing delays in charter flights, seeing the average delay extend by one minute, but still five minutes shorter than the national average.
