Delays are pretty bad at the moment. Massive rush in the mornings from 6 to 8 a.m. The knock on delays have been going on for a while now. Doesn't help that there are often delays at the other end. For example our friends in Italy are not exactly known for the speed they turn aircraft around in at the bigger airports so delays on the outbound can be made worse by delays on the inbound. It's definitely getting worse so improved numbers, to be welcomed for sure, seem to be stretching runway/atc capacity.
2 p.m. GMT here now and a good few EI planes are already running quite late. Knock on effects later again. It's been a daily issue for a while now.
