Flights may be cancelled due to weather when the safety of the flight and its passengers are at risk. Weather related cancellations typically occur due to extreme weather conditions that could endanger the aircraft and its passengers, such as high wind, lightening storms, snowstorms and ice storms. Airlines look at their own travel policies in determining when to cancel flights due to weather in order to ensure customer safety and the integrity of their aircraft.
