Flight delays can be frustrating and disruptive to your travel plans. Airfairness provides information on your rights as a passenger and what you can do in case your flight is delayed.
Thunderstorms, snowstorms, hurricanes, and other severe weather conditions can significantly impact flight schedules. These weather events can cause airport closures or delays in takeoff and landing.
Dense fog can reduce visibility, making it unsafe for planes to land or take off. This can lead to delays as pilots wait for conditions to improve.
High winds, especially crosswinds, can make it difficult for planes to land or take off safely. Airports may delay flights until conditions are safer.
Planes require regular maintenance to ensure safety. If an issue is detected during pre-flight checks, the aircraft may need repairs before it can safely depart, causing delays.
Unexpected mechanical issues, such as engine problems or hydraulic failures, can occur. These need immediate attention, leading to delays while the aircraft is repaired or replaced.
Issues with onboard systems, such as navigation or communication equipment, must be addressed before the flight can continue.
Busy airports with high volumes of air traffic can experience congestion, leading to delays. This is especially common during peak travel times and at major international hubs.
Air Traffic Control (ATC) manages the flow of aircraft in the sky and on the ground. If ATC determines that the airspace is too crowded or weather conditions are poor, they may impose delays to ensure safety.
Sometimes, flights need to be rerouted due to other flights, weather conditions, or military activity. These adjustments can cause delays as aircraft take longer routes.
Thunderstorms, snowstorms, hurricanes, and other severe weather conditions can significantly impact flight schedules. These weather events can cause airport closures or delays in takeoff and landing.
Dense fog can reduce visibility, making it unsafe for planes to land or take off. This can lead to delays as pilots wait for conditions to improve.
Delays in loading or unloading baggage, or locating misplaced luggage, can hold up a flight.
Airlines often use the same aircraft for multiple flights throughout the day. If an earlier flight is delayed, subsequent flights using the same aircraft may also be delayed.
