What the record says about MCY
Departures from Maroochydore run late more often than average — enough that a tight connection at the far end deserves a second look.
The airlines flying from here are not equally affected. Virgin Australia left on time 7.3 points more often than QantasLink from the same airport — which is the clearest evidence available that a delayed departure is not purely the airport's fault.
