Monarch charter flights at Edinburgh and Birmingham airports had the best punctuality during the season to date, with an average delay of 16 minutes and 22 minutes respectively.
Monarch charter flights at London Stansted, Manchester, London Gatwick and Glasgow had poorer timekeeping, while flights at London Luton and Newcastle had the worst punctuality with average delays of over an hour.
