Air travelers worldwide are suffering from the airport chaos.

While European airports dominate when it comes to delays, airports in China and the USA do the most when it comes to cancellations. 

Atlanta – There has been chaos at German airports for weeks.

Flights are delayed or canceled altogether.

The airlines canceled a thousand flights in Frankfurt and Munich alone in July.

But anyone who thinks that only Germany is affected is wrong.

This is also shown by a study by the flight tracking site FlightAware on behalf of the US broadcaster CNN, which evaluates the period from May 26th to July 19th.

Accordingly, air travelers are particularly affected by delays in Europe.

Seven of the ten international airports with the most delays are on the Old Continent.

Among them are two German airports, Frankfurt in second place and Munich in seventh place.

However, the front runner is Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada.

At 52.5 percent, more than half of the planes do not depart on time.

According to CNN, Air Canada has made it easier to rebook tickets free of charge in view of the conditions in Toronto “because of the longer than usual delays”.

The Canadian airline had previously thinned out its summer flight schedule.

At Frankfurt Airport, the number of delayed flights is 45.4 percent, at Munich Airport it is 40.4 percent.
