• Do flights get delayed for snow?

Yes, flights can be delayed due to inclement weather like snow. Heavy snowfall affects the visibility of pilots and can cause delays. The runway and tarmacs of airports need to be maintained and cleared of snow for take-offs and landings which may also contribute to delays. Although snow is not always guaranteed to cause delays, it sometimes is unavoidable.
