The hidden cost of delays
Every minute of delay costs $33 in aircraft operations alone. The average delay totals nearly $8,000. US flight delays cost over $30 billion a year. In Europe, the average delay runs over 17 minutes – and more than half of that from knock-on effects inside the airport itself. What airports need now is smarter airport management systems.
