Overview
Between 04.11.2026 and 11.11.2026, nakordoni.eu measured 4,306 departures. Of these, 3,020 (70%) left within 15 minutes of schedule, and 244 (5.7%) left more than 60 minutes late. The average departure delay was 14.4 min. Kraków John Paul II International Airport (KRK) had the worst average at 36.2 min, and the single worst departure of the week left 5 h 54 min late.
These figures come from our own polling of the departure boards at 11 airports every 5 minutes. They cover only those airports and only the last 7 days. They are not network-wide airline statistics or an industry ranking, and they describe departure delay only. Current flight delays today are on the flights section, which shows live departure boards for each monitored airport.
Airport ranking: where departures ran latest
Kraków is the outlier. Its average delay of 36.2 min is more than double that of Warsaw Chopin, the next airport at 15.5 min. The remaining nine airports average 12.3 min or less.
| # | Airport | Average delay | On time | Over 60 min late | Worst delay | Departures measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kraków John Paul II International Airport (KRK) | 36.2 min | 50% | 19.4% | 5 h 54 min | 748 |
| 2 | Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) | 15.5 min | 64% | 3.2% | 4 h 59 min | 1421 |
| 3 | Sofia Airport (SOF) | 12.3 min | 73% | 4.9% | 4 h 29 min | 487 |

Two large airports at the top, a quiet tail below
Warsaw and Kraków carry the two largest samples, with 1,421 and 748 departures, and they also rank first and second for delay. Only half of Kraków departures left on time, against 64% at Warsaw. Rzeszów shows the highest share over 60 min late after Kraków (7.6%), but its sample of 66 departures is small. At the other end, Gdańsk, Chişinău and Varna all recorded at least 88% on time. Varna had no departure above 60 min late, and Varna airport had a worst delay of 51 min. Burgas had only 8 measured departures, too few for a percentage. For travellers choosing between two airports, Lech Wałęsa Airport in Gdańsk was far closer to schedule than Kraków this week. Those who cross a land border on the way to the airport can check border queues before choosing.
The five worst departures of the week
| # | Flight | Airline | From | To | Date | Delay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | WZZ2007 | Wizz Air | Kraków (KRK) | London (LGW) | Sun 08.11 | 5 h 54 min |
| 2 | RYS2726 | Buzz | Kraków (KRK) | Catania (CTA) | Sat 07.11 | 5 h 39 min |

| 5 | WMT6388 | Wizz Air Malta | Warsaw (WAW) | Milan (MXP) | Thu 05.11 | 4 h 59 min |
Four of the five departed from Kraków, and three of those were scheduled on Saturday 07.11. The fifth left Warsaw on Thursday 05.11. The five flights belong to four different airlines, so the list says nothing about any single carrier.
Airlines: who left on time and who did not
| Airline | On time | Average delay | Departures measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lufthansa | 59% | 16.5 min | 145 |
| LOT Polish Airlines | 61% | 16.9 min | 974 |
| Ryanair | 63% | 22.6 min | 462 |
| Buzz | 70% | 16.5 min | 650 |
| KLM | 70% | 13.8 min | 92 |
| Austrian Airlines | 76% | 8.3 min | 54 |
| Wizz Air | 77% | 11.9 min | 728 |
| Bulgaria Air | 77% | 9.7 min | 78 |
| Turkish Airlines | 80% | 8 min | 74 |
| Wizz Air Malta | 89% | 3.7 min | 156 |
Lufthansa had the lowest on-time share at 59%, followed by LOT Polish Airlines at 61% across the largest sample of 974 departures. Ryanair had the highest average delay at 22.6 min. Buzz recorded the most departures over 60 min late (62), while Wizz Air Malta was the most punctual at 89%. These are punctuality figures for departures from the 11 monitored airports and do not describe any carrier's whole network. More carrier detail is on the airline punctuality page.
Only carriers with at least 50 measured departures are listed, because a smaller sample gives no reliable statistic. Our records show how late a flight left, not why, and this report does not assign causes.
How the week trended
Saturday 07.11 had the highest average delay at 22.5 min, with 65% of departures on time. Monday 09.11 had the lowest on-time share of any day at 63%, with an average delay of 18.3 min. Tuesday 10.11 recovered to 72% on time and 13.6 min. The first day (Wed 04.11) and the last (Wed 11.11) are partial windows, so their lower counts and better figures carry no trend.
Delayed right now
The live board was refreshed at 07:57 Kyiv time on 11.11.2026, and the snapshot ages within the hour. Four departures were running more than 15 min late across the monitored airports, and one of them was more than 60 min late.
| Flight | Airline | From | To | Delay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DLH1349 | Lufthansa | Warsaw (WAW) | Frankfurt am Main | 1 h 25 min |
| WZZ1083 | Wizz Air | Katowice (KTW) | Fuerteventura | 40 min |
| LOT3851 | LOT Polish Airlines | Warsaw (WAW) | Wrocław | 37 min |
| LOT265 | LOT Polish Airlines | Warsaw (WAW) | Amsterdam | 18 min |
Three of the four are Warsaw departures. The current WAW departures board shows each flight's status.
What to do with these numbers
- Check the live departure board for your flight before leaving for the airport. The weekly window is closed, while the boards keep changing.
- Leave extra time on a short connection when your flight departs from an airport near the top of the table. A departure delay can shrink in the air, but a short transfer is the real risk.
- When two airports serve the same city, the punctuality gap is a useful tiebreaker. Warsaw Chopin and Modlin show one such gap this week: 15.5 min against 3 min on average.
- If your trip starts with a land border crossing, check the queue first. Border wait time is the part of the journey you can plan around.
