NYC Airports Ranked Among The Worst For Delayed Flights: New Study

NEW YORK CITY — While the city's two main airports have made significant improvements in its infrastructure in recent years, they still lag behind when it comes to flight disruptions, according to a new study.

A new study by AirHelp, an air passenger rights company, collected data on airports around the country that had the most and least flight disruptions last month.

JFK made the top 5, while LaGuardia ranked slightly better. Nearby, Newark Liberty International Airport also made the list, according to a TimeOut New York report.

In February, 26.9 percent of flights had some type of disruption, according to the study. LaGuardia Airport had 26.5 percent of flights disrupted.

Dispute those figures, JFK faired better than three other airports on the list.

Ronald Reagan National Airport in Virginia ranked as the worst airports in the U.S. with over 40 percent of its flights disrupted in February.
