Why does American Airlines cancel flights?

Last updated on April 25, 2023

American Airlines cancels flights for a variety of reasons, including inclement weather, mechanical problems, crew scheduling, and air traffic control. Inclement weather can cause delayed or canceled flights due to turbulence, low visibility, and other weather-related conditions. Mechanical problems can include any aircraft maintenance or malfunctions. Crew scheduling occurs when the crew is unable or unavailable to fly the route. Finally, air traffic control can often cause delays or cancellations due to airspace limitations and air space restrictions.
