Why is this happening?
Sometimes the reason for a delay is obvious, such as bad weather, other times it's not. The fact is delays are a systemic problem. A delay at one airport can trickle through airports everywhere.
And, with air traffic now reaching record-breaking levels, the system cannot easily accommodate changes.
No matter what flight you're on, it is managed through air traffic control. A controller's job is to get each flight safely and efficiently from one destination to the next. But with fewer controllers
guiding more planes than ever, the system can easily become overloaded. When airports become congested, and air traffic levels exceed capacity levels, controllers are forced to slow down traffic. In these
situations, safety remains a priority even if it means you arrive at your meeting later than planned Learn the truth about delays >>
