CHICAGO - Chicago travelers received unwelcome news as it was revealed that one of the city's airports experienced the highest number of delays and cancelations last year.

According to data released by the travel app "Hopper," Midway International Airport emerged as the most unpredictable airport in the country, with nearly half of all flights disrupted during the summer.

The data indicated that approximately 50% of flights departing from Midway International Airport encountered disruptions, causing significant inconvenience for passengers.
