Stranded in Newark

If you’re flying out of Newark Liberty International Airport anytime soon, you may want to bring an extra book to read. According to a new study, our local airport ranked as the worst in the U.S. for having the highest share of flights that were delayed for over 15 minutes or cancelled. The air-passenger rights company AirHelp found that only 64 percent of flights departed Newark on time.

Passengers won’t do much better flying out of other New York City-area airports. LaGuardia’s on-time performance rate was only 66 percent, third-worst in the nation, and JFK came in at No. 8, with almost 74 percent of its flights leaving on time.

This comes on the heels of last month's study showing Newark airport at the top of security wait times across the country. The average TSA wait time at Newark Liberty is 23 minutes.
