NEW YORK (KRON) — A new report found the cause of many flight delays, and it is not the weather.
Following recent system failures at Southwest and Delta Airlines, people are wondering what is the holdup?
A Bloomberg news report is pointing the finger at the airlines.
It says mechanical issues and crew scheduling are now the leading cause of flight delays in the United States.
But there is some good news.
Bloomberg says improvements in air traffic technology and responses to adverse weather have dropped delays in recent months to historically low levels.
