Why do flights get canceled?

Last updated on April 25, 2023

Flights can get canceled for a variety of reasons, some of which may be out of the airlines' control. Common causes of canceled flights include inclement weather, air traffic control restrictions, mechanical issues with the plane, staffing issues, and security concerns. Additionally, low advanced bookings or a larger than normal number of canceled reservations might also lead to a flight being canceled.
