The earlier the departure, the less the delay

    As you know, a lie is divided into ordinary, arrogant and statistics. And now I brought you a little last.

    The website FiveThirtyEight , having analyzed the data of the Bureau of Transport Statistics of the United States from 1995 to 2014 , found that the best time to fly out if you do not like to sit on the suitcases at the airport all day - from 6 to 7 in the morning, the average delay in this interval was only 8, 6 minutes



    Delays of flights departing closer to 6 or between 7 and 8 in the morning are almost also minimal. Further delays only increase, reaching a peak of 20.7 minutes by 6 pm. The next best time for departure is after ten in the evening.

    Most of the delays are due to the banal delay of flights:



    Other causes are weather, safety problems, equipment problems or personnel fault.

    The data, of course, refers to the United States, but perhaps after this news there will be those who want to conduct a similar analysis of Russian / European airlines.
