According to Singapore Management University, between 1986 and 2016, the length of flights have increased by as much as 9.8 minutes.
If you're feeling like flights are becoming longer these days, you're not crazy. They are indeed taking longer. While delays and runway congestion have certainly not helped the situation, even on-time flights are taking longer.The longer flight times can be attributed to something called"schedule creep." Simply put, it's were airlines pad their flight times to reduce the number of late flights.
"Padding is the extra time airlines allow themselves to fly from A to B. Because these flights were consistently late, airlines have now baked delays experienced for decades into their schedules instead of improving operations,"For airlines being late usually means a flight has an arrived at the gate 15 minutes or more after the scheduled time of arrival. However, even that buffer isn't enough many times.
