• How much wind will cancel a flight?

Wind speed is one of the key factors considered when determining whether a flight may be canceled. Generally, a plane will not be allowed to take off if wind speeds exceed 30 miles per hour, or when gusts reach 40 miles per hour. If a sustained wind reaches 45 miles per hour, all flights may be grounded until the wind dies down.
