China Tops 'Air Travel Delays' List

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 14 Juli 2013 | 00.02

Passengers using China's airlines and airports continue suffer the worst flight delays in the world, according to a travel industry monitor.

Less than one-in-five planes leave on time from its capital's airport.

A survey of flight times last month showed that Beijing's airport had the lowest proportion of flights leaving on time among 35 leading airports at just 18.3%, FlightStats Inc said.

Shanghai was slightly better at 28.72%, but still 10 percentage points below the next-worst performer, Istanbul.

Among airlines, mainland Chinese carriers made up eight of the 10 worst performing airlines.

Flag carrier Air China came in sixth from the bottom, with just 54.54% of its flights arriving on time.

No reasons were given for the poor performance.

Industry analysts frequently blame the country's air force's tight restrictions on airspace for heavy congestion along available corridors.

Air travel has more than quadrupled in China along with rising incomes and cheaper tickets.

Alongside that growth, routine delays, shoddy service and ill-mannered passengers have fuelled an epidemic of air rage incidents, video footage of which is often shown on television.

:: The survey comes as Britain's Civil Aviation Authority said overall on-time arrivals and departures at 10 main UK airports during the first quarter of 2013 was 78%, down 4% on the same period last year.
