That's not good news for travelers! A departure delay of 16-30 minutes is already frustrating, but the fact that it's increasing might make it even more challenging for people trying to get to their destinations on time.

If you're a traveler affected by this delay, I hope you're able to stay calm and adjust your plans accordingly. It might be worth checking with your airline or flight status website for updates on when your flight is expected to depart.

On the bright side, at least it's not a complete cancellation, so there's still some hope that flights will take off eventually!
