More than a fifth of all European flights were delayed in May despite the introduction of measures aimed at preventing disruptions that wreaked havoc on travel during last year’s busy summer season.
Monthly data from regional air traffic authority Eurocontrol show 22.1 percent of flights were delayed compared with 24.5 percent the same month last year, according to a statement. Flights over central and eastern Germany were among the most delayed.
Strikes by traffic controllers and staff at airlines including Ryanair Holdings Plc led to
delays and cancellations during May and the summer months of 2018, costing carriers hundreds of millions of euros.
