Lisbon Airport once again experienced the most delays and cancellations.
“Only 67% of flights were on schedule,” AirHelp reports, explaining that while most disruptions were “minor delays that do not require financial compensation,” more than 231,000 air passengers can receive compensation for a delay of more than three hours, a flight cancellation, or a missed connection caused by a previous flight delay.
AirHelp data shows that, compared to 2024, national airports handled one million more passengers, an increase that was accompanied by an increase in disruptions, affecting 5.3 million passengers, compared to 4.7 million passengers in the same period last year.
In the first half of the year, TAP was once again the airline that carried the most passengers, carrying over four and a half million passengers, 60% of whom experienced no disruptions.
Ryanair was the second airline with the most passengers, exceeding three million, and registered 72% of its flights without any disruptions, while easyJet came in third, with over two million air passengers and 68% of its flights without disruptions.
In terms of airports, Faro Airport had the fewest disruptions, at 82%, followed by Porto Airport with 76% of its flights without disruptions, while Lisbon Airport was at the bottom of the list, with only 59% of its flights without disruptions.
“Of the 231,000 air passengers eligible for compensation, more than 110,000 are from Lisbon Airport,” AirHelp.
