Kodwa yisiphi isikhumulo sezindiza sase-US esibe nokubambezeleka okukhulu nokukhanselwa kwendiza? I-AirHelp ihlaziye ukuhamba kwezindiza ezikhumulweni zezindiza eziyi-10 ezinkulu zase-United States ngo-2017, yathola ukuthi ukuphazamiseka kwendiza okuningi kwenzeke eNewark Liberty International Airport, futhi okuncane kakhulu kwenzeke e-Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Izindiza eziningi nazo zibambezelekile noma zikhanseliwe e-John F. Kennedy International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, nase-Los Angeles International Airport.

Kuzo zonke izindiza ezisuka eNewark Liberty International Airport ngo-2017, ngaphezu kwama-29% aphazamisekile. Ngokwalo mphumela, isikhumulo sezindiza sethule ukusebenza kwesikhathi okubi kakhulu kwezikhumulo zezindiza eziyi-10 ezinkulu zase-United States. Futhi, e-John F.
