Poor Punctuality at Paris-Beauvais Airport

The Paris-Beauvais Airport has been reported as the least punctual among the fifteen major French airports this summer, with over 45% of analyzed flights arriving late by at least fifteen minutes. This unfortunate trend directly impacts travelers utilizing the numerous routes connecting Beauvais to Morocco. Between June 1 and September 7, 2026, a staggering 2,556 out of 5,632 flights recorded at least a fifteen-minute delay upon arrival at Beauvais, resulting in a delay rate of precisely 45.38%, as per the data released by Flightright and reported by Air Journal.

Impact on Travelers and Comparisons with Other Airports

This dismal performance is particularly concerning given that Beauvais is a heavily trafficked hub for travelers journeying between France and Morocco. Notably, Ryanair operates several routes from Beauvais to various cities in Morocco, including Tangier, Nador, Fez, Marrakech, Essaouira, and Agadir. The reported figure of 45.38% of delayed flights encompasses all arrivals at Beauvais, not just those from Morocco, as Flightright does not provide specific delay rates for Moroccan flights.

Nevertheless, these statistics place Beauvais behind the two other major Parisian airports. At Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, for instance, 40.50% of arrivals experienced delays exceeding fifteen minutes, while Paris-Orly fared even better with only 30.55% of late arrivals. However, it is essential to note that Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle recorded the highest number of delays in absolute terms due to its significantly heavier traffic, with 25,484 flights arriving late by at least fifteen minutes during the study period.

These figures highlight a persistent issue with punctuality among airlines operating from France. In July, Ryanair reported that 45.27% of its flights were delayed, while Royal Air Maroc stood in stark contrast with only 18.30% of its flights experiencing delays. This discrepancy underlines the challenges faced by travelers relying on the services at Paris-Beauvais Airport, particularly those flying to Morocco.
