London Stansted Airport (STN)Worst-arrival rank: 8



On-time arrivals: 66.7%



Stansted, Britain’s third-busiest airport, is a magnet for budget airlines. An airport spokesman disputes FlightStats’ figures, but adds that low-cost carriers typically have a quick turnaround time on the ground, which can increase the likelihood of a late flight. A FlightStats spokeswoman says the dispute over on-time arrivals is likely due to a different definition of “scheduled flights” in the U.K.

Istanbul Ataturk International Airport (IST)Worst-departure rank: 7



On-time departures: 58.2%



Istanbul Ataturk International is not close to being the world’s busiest airport. Still, it seems to have a problem with timeliness. The airport is one two major hubs to be mentioned on both our worst arrival and departure rankings this year. In 2009 about 57% of late passenger flights departed from Istanbul within a half hour of scheduled takeoff, according to FlightStats’ data sample.
