The study examined the factors which contribute to the occurrence of flight delay in Muritala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos Nigeria. Three airlines were purposely selected from thirty two (32) airlines operators. Data was collected from 50 sampled respondents based on simple random sampling technique from the three (3) purposely selected airlines. These data were subsequently analysed through regression analysis. The result showed that air traffic delay can be accounted for by bad weather, ACFT maintenance, ACFT fuelling, air traffic congestion, operations flight doc., Pax late boarding, baggage handling, VIP movement and ACF damage. The result further reveals that the most potent contributor is bad weather. Therefore, the study recommended that service provider and the regulating agency should ensure that flight schedules are spread out as much as possible to avoid congestion of traffic and its associated problem.
