Record airline delays?
US airlines are flying towards a record year for being late, said the US government in recently released figures.
Those figures showed US airports handled 3.5 million flight arrivals and departures for the first half of this year. OF those, 710,000 were late arrivals, and another 574,000 had late departures. That marked an increase of over a third from the previous year.
One of the prime causes for delays was O’Hare, where regulators this week were talking to the major airlines about voluntary cutbacks to reduce congestion that has had a domino impact on other flights.
