Description
Summary:The main goal of this article is to identify the factors influencing flight delays from popular Greek destinations – Kos, Chania, Corfu, Rhodes, Heraklion, and Zakynthos. An airline operating in European region was monitored. Factors were analysed by contingency tables analysis and correspondence analysis. Unique data were gained from airline’s database and contained information about various reasons of delay. The high season of years 2008-2014 was monitored. It was proved from the analysis that the most frequent delay occurs in Zakynthos. The least delays appear at the Kos airport. Big differences of delay frequencies among monitored airports are evident in the evening. Delay caused by the delayed preceding flight is the most frequent delay reason. Delays caused by the airlines and suppliers originate the least often. Delays caused by the problems at the airport and in air traffic control occur the most frequently in case of very short delays up to 15 minutes. Delayed preceding flights cause mainly longer delays at monitored airports.
