Methodology
FinanceBuzz analyzed publicly-available data from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for the 45 busiest airports in the U.S. based on passenger volume. Total number of minutes passengers (collectively) spent delayed was calculated, then ranked from most amount of time spent delayed and narrowed down to the 25 airports with the most collective delayed time.

FinanceBuzz looked at data sets for the percentage of on-time departures, average airport delay in minutes, number of departing passengers, number of departing domestic flights, and causes of delays during 2018.
