• When do flights get cancelled?

Flights get cancelled for a variety of reasons; these may vary from bad weather to technical issues with the aircraft. Airlines will often look to cancel a flight if the estimated journey duration is likely to be greatly extended due to a mechanical fault or adverse weather conditions. Flight cancellations can also happen if there aren’t enough passengers on a particular flight. Whatever the reason may be, airlines will generally inform, or attempt to contact, passengers of cancelled flights prior to the scheduled take-off time.
