WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Navigate Flight Delays · 29 Jul 2022 podcast

It was around 38% of their flights out of that airport were delayed. matched

And then we're also seeing major delays at JFK International Airport in New York City and BWI in the Washington, D.C., Baltimore area. matched

But you're not going to escape these delays by going overseas or leaving the U.S. matched

Number one airport in the world for flight delays is Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada. matched

A staggering 57% of flights out of that airport are delayed, so over half. matched

Similarly, Montreal Trudeau International Airport, also in Canada, over half of the flights there are delayed. matched

The situation is also bad over in Europe. matched

Frankfurt, Charles de Gaulle in Paris, Munich, Amsterdam, Heathrow, you know, a number of airports in Europe are seeing delays in excess of 40% or higher. matched

Definitely. matched

Tokyo, for starters, their international airport has not seen these super high levels of delays. matched

And in general, when you go to East Asia, some of those are the airports that have had better performance for on-time departures compared to the rest of the world. matched

So for starters, since a lot of this has to do with staffing, they are definitely looking to boost their employee numbers. matched

You're seeing a lot of hiring activity going on. matched

But the airports are, and this is a dicey relationship, Heathrow, Schiffel Airport in Amsterdam, Charles de Gaulle, they are putting caps on the number of departures per day. matched

And in some cases, are actually instructing the airlines not to sell any more seats and limiting the number of people traveling through those airports, having flights out of those airports. matched

And the whole point of that is to reduce the delays, reduce the crowded lines at matched

customs and passport control, because we've seen folks standing in lines for hours on end. matched

And airlines are indeed, you know, in response to those caps and in general, just reducing the number of itineraries they're flying. matched

They are making cuts, usually well in advance. matched

So you'll have enough warning. matched
