explains: "This analysis makes clear the factors that contribute the most to passengers' lost time. While most delays were caused by either the airlines or the National Aviation System, both areas are always improving, for example, with the significant investment into improving air traffic control that we have recently seen.

"This means that with enough effort, thought and investment a vast amount of this time loss could be eliminated. We have already started seeing improvements year over year, and I would encourage American air passengers to be optimistic about their future flying experiences.

"The Bureau of Transportation Statistics considers most delays to be, directly or indirectly, the fault of the Airlines. Because of this, Americans traveling internationally should be aware of foreign countries' laws that require airlines to pay compensation for significantly disrupted flights if the disruption was the airline's fault. If you are flying to a country, such as the UK, which has such a law you can use a compensation calculator to determine how much you are owed."
