While the UK air travel sector's average PaymentCheck score of 65.5 is significantly better than the UK average of 50, the spread between the best and worst payers is considerable. This suggests pockets of excellence alongside areas needing urgent improvement, perhaps indicating varying financial health or supply chain management strategies across the sector.
Yorkshire and The Humber leads the regions with an average PaymentCheck score of 79.4 across 4 companies, followed closely by the South East (76.6 across 17 companies) and Scotland (75.2 across only 1 company). The North East, with a score of 67.5 (1 company), underperforms compared to the rest of the UK, hinting at potential regional disparities in payment practices within the air travel industry.
