Monarch charter flights recorded a high average delay of nearly 46 minutes during the winter 2006 / 07 season, the poorest winter punctuality recorded for the airline since we began anlysing records in 2002.
Punctuality was good at Birmingham but other UK reporting airports had poorer timekeeping, London Gatwick and Manchester in particular where the average Monarch charter flight was delayed by around 50 minutes and in the case of Gatwick 1 in 5 flights operated over an hour late.
