What the record says about this route

Which airline you fly changes the odds here. Wizz Air arrived on time 33.7 points more often than TUI Airways over the same period on the same route — same airports, same weather, same air traffic control. A gap that survives all of that is about how the two airlines are run.

The season swings this route hard. In November it ran 53.4 points more punctual than in September — a difference bigger than the one between the best and worst airlines on most routes. If the date is flexible, it is worth more than the carrier.

The route has been getting better. The later months in the record run 11.7 points more punctual than the earlier ones, which usually means a schedule that was too tight has been given more room.

This is a late route. Flights from Larnaca to London miss their scheduled arrival often enough that a tight connection at the far end is a connection at risk.

Which airline should you fly on this route?

Over March 2025 – August 2026, Wizz Air arrived on time most often on LCA to LGW. TUI Airways was late most often. Flights ran closest to schedule in November and worst in September.

What these figures do and do not tell you

Everything on this page is counted from the flights that actually operated on LCA to LGW during March 2025 – August 2026, as reported by the airlines to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics. "On time" is the federal definition: arriving at the gate within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.

A route's record is a description of the past, not a forecast. Weather, air traffic control and the aircraft's earlier flights that day drive most delays, and none of them are predictable from a historical rate. What the record does tell you is whether this route runs late more often than others, and which carrier on it has the better history — which is the part you can actually act on when you book.

Cancellations are counted separately from delays because they are a different problem for a traveller: a late flight still gets you there. How the grade is calculated →
