The read on easyJet
What the record actually tells you about flying easyJet
easyJet runs about 67% on time across 1,737,735 flights of official all-cause history — a middling record — fine on a good day, fragile when conditions turn. On cancellations, cancellations are rare here, at roughly 1.0%.
It's not just whether a flight is late, but how late. When easyJet runs behind, the typical delay lands around 19 minutes, and only a small slice — about 2.1% — slip two hours or more, so the worst-case tail is relatively contained.
Reliability isn't uniform across easyJet's map. Its strongest route in the data is EDI–LIS, running around 89% on time, while OLB–LGW is among its weakest at about 31%. That gap is the whole point: judge easyJet on the route you're actually flying, not on its overall average.
