While the UK Air Travel sector outperforms the national average in payment practices, there's a stark contrast between the best and worst payers, highlighting inconsistent financial responsibility within the industry. The regional data is skewed by small sample sizes, particularly in the East Midlands, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about regional payment cultures.
The South East and London, with 15 companies each, recorded similar averages of 71.1/100 and 70.4/100 respectively. The North East, with only two companies surveyed, shows a below-average score of 57.0/100, indicating potential challenges with payment practices in that region.
If you're struggling with late payments, a late payment calculator can help you understand the potential impact.
One-line takeaway: Despite an overall score of 61.1/100, the 90.3-point difference between the best and worst individual payers underscores a significant issue of payment disparity within the UK Air Travel sector in 2020.
