Worldwide Flight Cancellation + Delay Update

Written by FlightAware | July 9, 2021 12:51:42 PM Z

"Delays are in fact part of the aviation recovery story. As travel demand continues to increase, especially in the US, many airlines are struggling to keep up. With staff stretched thin, any disruption to the day's schedule, such as weather or IT outages, is causing a much larger impact, leading to more delays and cancellations."
