Manchester Airport has been named as the least reliable airport in the UK, according to research from the adventure holiday provider The Bucket List Company.
The study looked at the percentage of flights delayed, average length of delays, number of flights cancelled, average review rating and social ratings, which were all ranked in order to determine the most & least reliable UK airports from the past 12 months.
UK airports in general have seen a huge number of flights delayed or cancelled, which has created chaos on numerous days at many airports.
Taking this into account for the past 12 months, Manchester Airport was found to be the least reliable in the study, with 51% of flights delayed in that time period.
Additionally, it had an average delay length of 11 minutes and a total of 1347 cancelled flights.
