Branded Reporting Period (Month of Year)
We now have an idea of the overall delay picture, but how is this affected when we start breaking this down by other variables available within our system?
Let’s look firstly at the differences between Charter and Scheduled flights. There certainly was a much higher average delay for charter flights many years ago, but that disparity has cyprus mobile numbers disappeared in more recent years. We may have expected to see charter flights with higher delays as the same planes often have quick turnarounds, and any delay on an outbound flight will have a knock-on effect to the subsequent inbound one.
Now, let’s look at the average delay broken down by reporting airport. To make the chart clearer I’ve chosen to focus on the five biggest airports in the data set (by both number of routes and number of flights). There are no big differences between the airports, but Gatwick is nearer the top and Stansted has generally had the least delays in most of the years.

Finally, I’ve decided to look at whether the overall distance of a flight has an impact on the average delay. We’ve used the powerful geographic expression capabilities provided by the GeoDist() set of functions to calculate the distance between the origin and destination airports for each flight route. For the example below we’ve then banded these flight distances and produced a chart that shows both the number of routes in each category and the average delay. This shows that there is indeed a positive correlation between flight distance and overall delay (at least up to 5,000 miles).
