Why are there flight cancellations?

Last updated on April 25, 2023

Flight cancellations generally occur for safety reasons. Poor weather conditions, aircraft maintenance, airline staff shortages, and air traffic control constraints can all lead to flight delays and cancellations. Airlines also may cancel flights due to reduced customer demand or financial reasons. Changes in air travel restrictions in certain countries due to Covid-19 may also cause flight cancellations.
