Flight cancellations can disrupt travel plans, but passengers flying to and from the EU have strong protections under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EC 261).
impacts of flight cancellations for airlines?
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.
