The primary cause of flight cancellations for airlines often stems from weather-related factors like hurricanes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and fog.

Although airlines aim to avoid canceling flights due to weather, it’s safer to halt a flight at its point of origin rather than risk dangerous operations or potentially have multiple aircraft in the air that may need to divert to alternate airports.

If you’ve read the news in the last few months, you may have seen the dozens of cancelations plaguing airlines every week. However, there are some statistically right times to fly, when the cases of cancelation are reduced dramatically. Here’s a look at the best time to fly to avoid being stranded in an airport.

Airlines have very strict rules regarding pre-flight preparations so cabin crew has to plan well before to make sure they are on time. This may mean catching an earlier flight on standby (if commuting) or taking the before the bus to operate. Most airlines work on the 90-minute rule, so the cabin crew should aim to be there before that.

Following its unique relationship with the Airbus A380, Emirates has stated its wish for Airbus to resume making larger aircraft. Speaking at a media roundtable in Doha, the airline’s CEO, Tim Clark, made clear his thoughts on the demand for larger aircraft in the future as demand for travel bounces back following the pandemic.
