What Weather Delays Flights?

Last updated on April 24, 2023

Weather delays flights when visibility is reduced due to adverse weather conditions like fog, heavy rain, or high winds. This can affect the airline's ability to take-off or land safely. As a result, air traffic control will delay or cancel flights until the weather improves. Increased turbulence and gusty winds can also delay flights. Airlines may need to make adjustments in order to ensure a safe and comfortable flight.
