Airport data collected from FlightAware showed the airport to rank just below Chicago Midway International Airport for the highest percentages of delays, with a total percentage of flight delays for the Baltimore airport being 32.5% over the summer, the outlet continues.

However, the high percentages of air travel issues over the summer seems to be coming to a close after Labor Day weekend saw a reduction in delays and cancellations from the summer's average of 2.2% to 0.6%. The weekend also marked the first time that passenger volume surpassed pre-pandemic 2019 holiday numbers. To read the full report of the list of worst airports for summer travel by WBAL, click here.
