What about airlines? Which are the airlines that fly the most holding? For airlines with a reasonable amount of flights in our dataset, we give the same data as for the airports.
Please note that this ranking is a bit misleading. Holding mainly depends on the destination airport. So this ranking mostly corresponds to how frequently these airlines fly to airports with a lot of holding, for example London City and London Heathrow.
