Air 2000 services performed fairly well across all analysed UK airports over the Winter 2001 / 2002 period, with the exception of London Gatwick where the average flight was held up around 30 minutes and 1 in 9 services operated over an hour behind schedule.
The average Air 2000 service therefore operated 23 minutes behind schedule with 1 in 11 services over an hour late, largely attributable to the poor performance at London Gatwick.
