A review of flight delay causes at Spanish airports based on statistical analysis of categorical data

Original language description

The central objective of this study is to explore the causes of delayed flights at Spanish airports and to examine them in further detail while taking into consideration additional factors. All the data originated from the internal database of an airline operating in the European area, widely used by Spanish airports for both regular and charter flights. Since the database consists mainly of linguistic variables, contingency tables and correspondence analysis were used for processing of the data. It was established in our research that there is a higher number of delayed flights in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands, and lower in the Canary Islands. The most common reason for delayed flights at all airports is the propagation of the delay from previous flight, mostly on the Ibiza Island. Delays caused by the airport, air traffic control, and emergency situations are most frequent in Barcelona. At all airports the frequency of delays apparently decreases with their length, in other words - the shorter the delay, the more frequently it occurs. The longest delays are usually caused by the delay of the previous flight, and this cause seems to occur more frequently in the afternoon and in the evening, due to the propagation of delays over the course of the day.
