Thomas Cook charter flights achieved good punctuality during the summer 2004 season, the airline finishing as runner-up for punctuality over the period.
Flights at Newcastle and Birmingham in particular had very good punctuality with around 85% of flights operating on time.
The overall average delay for the airline was adversely affected by a relatively poor performance at Manchester, where a large proportion of Thomas Cook charter flights operated during the season and average delays of 24 minutes were recorded.
