Teesside Airport has been named the second most punctual in the UK.
New figures from the Civil Aviation Authority revealed 2022 was the busiest year for more than a decade at Teesside, welcoming more than 173,000 passengers through its terminal – up more than 200% on the previous year.
At the height of the summer season in July, it was named the most punctual, with delays of just 11 minutes and nearly half of all flights taking off early.
Data on flight delays during 2022 showed that the average delay per departing flight at Teesside was 14 minutes – more than half that of the airport with the longest delays and just one minute off grabbing the top spot.
