Airline delays often stem from operational issues: Report


As it turns out, the biggest cause of delayed and canceled flights since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic is Actually major airlinesbased on New data from the Federal Aviation Administration. Data is a good way to contextualize growing tensions between the FAA and the aviation industry in general. It can also be seen as a prelude to the pointing fingers between the two entities that we will see this summer.

So what do the numbers tell us? Well, from the very beginning, we can see that flights have been delay very often. From January 2019 to February 2023, 1.6 million flight was delayed overall by 5.3 million hours. it’s done 605 year value of delay that’s mainly caused by problems within the control of the airline such as maintenance and crew issues, aircraft cleanliness and baggage loading, according to the data.

FAA data also shows that 1.3 million flights — about 4.7 percent of all flights during the period — was delayed in January 2023 when there was a problem in the national aviation system cause serious computer problems. It was a nightmare for everyone involved.

We can also see that a huge 1.5 million flights were delayed due to another domestic plane being late, but that doesn’t explain Why Domestic flights have been delayed. If I were a bettor, I guess the fault lies somewhere in the airline.

The wildest stat from the FAA’s data, though, is one that’ll annoy seasoned travelers. You know how your airline blamed a weather problem caused flight delay? A little fog, a little turbulence, or a Rain showers? Yeshey almost certainly lied to you. FAA data shows that bad weather caused just 178,000 delays during this time period. That equates to 0.65% of flights and is likely to include delays due to extreme winter weather.

in terms of cancel, more than 776,000 flights have taken cans. That’s 2.8 percent of all flights. 63,000 more — or 0.2 percent — has been redirected. We can’t be sure exactly why these things happen, as the FAA doesn’t provide that information.

I know what you’re thinking. It’s a shit-tons of flights. There there must be more planes in the air more than ever. Well, the good news is that’s not the case. Via 50 months referenced in the study21.9 million flights — or 79.8 percent — be on time. That actually matches up with the on-time statistics from the last decade. So flying is really bad, but it’s as bad as ever. I suppose you can take some solace in that.
