How much snow is necessary to cancel flights?

Last updated on April 25, 2023

Though there is no single answer to this question, generally, airlines will begin to cancel flights if several inches of snow or sleet accumulate or if visibility is greatly reduced due to a winter storm. Large air carriers will likely have a set minimum threshold they use to decide when to cancel flights due to snowfall.
