1. Air transport movements which took place but for which there was no corresponding planned flight ( e.g. diversions from another airport to this airport)
2. Planned flights for which there was no air transport movement ( e.g. flights that were cancelled or diverted to another airport)
3.The punctuality and average delay figures for Edinburgh for 2001 onwards are not comparable to the figures for 2000 and earlier years.
From January 2001, a different assumption has been used for the taxi-ing time for departures from Edinburgh airport.
4. The average delays for 2000 onwards are not comparable to the figures for 1999 and earlier years. Up to December 1999, an early flight was counted as a negative delay; from January 2000, an early flights is counted as zero delay
