Stats - Very interesting
I believe, if you push back and park at your STD then you are deemed to have departed on time! You might well end up waiting an hour, over the otherside of the airport, for a slot, but 'No delay' will be recorded by the CAA.
The subsequent delay downroute is not taken into account by these or many other compiled figures. They look only at delays to departures from selected UK airports.
