The highest marks for an airline go to Aeromexico for the second straight year. Of its 188,859 flights, 90.02% arrived on time, with 99.74% of their flights completed. Saudia, SAS, Azul and Qatar Airways rounded out the top five, followed by Iberia, LATAM, Avianca, Turkish Airlines and Delta. It's worth noting here that, of the airlines in the top 10, Delta had the most flights by a significant margin - over 1.8 million - of which 80.9% arrived on time.

While we expect Dublin Airport to be fully operational on Tuesday, some disruption to flight schedules is possible due to weather issues at other airports. Airlines have already cancelled 8 flights scheduled for Tuesday, including three return services between Dublin and Amsterdam and one return service between Dublin and Brussels. Further disruption is possible. As always, passengers should contact their airline directly for the latest updates regarding the status of their flight,

The French civil aviation authority has reportedly asked airlines to reduce by 15 percent flights in an out of Paris' three airports (Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Beauvais), leading to some cancellations. Anyone with a flight is advised to contact their airline before travelling to the airport. Other arrivals into Paris were delayed because of the snow, although flights are still taking off and landing in Paris.

American Airlines is adding 3,000 additional seats by adding flights and using larger planes in the Caribbean region. JetBlue says it expects to resume normal operations as well. A look at air traffic from Flightradar24 shows empty airspace over the weekend. There was minimal activity across the eastern Caribbean. Airlines cancelled over 1,000 flights nationwide on Saturday in part due to the Caribbean airspace closures, as well as other factors like weather.

Andreina Crepsac, 29, had been counting down the days for weeks. She had bought her ticket in early October: departure on December 17, return on January 7. This was not just another trip. Since arriving in Madrid almost six years ago, she has only returned to Venezuela once, at Christmas. This would be the second time, and it had special meaning: for the first time in years, her whole family was going to be together. Her parents would travel from Venezuela,

Indian aviation regulators told IndiGo to immediately reduce flights by 5%. The move comes after over 2,000 cancellations last week when it emerged pilots were not receiving sufficient time to rest between flights. India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday told IndiGo it had one day to submit an updated flight schedule, including a 5% cut in departures, after the airline stranded tens of thousands of passengers by canceling over 2,000 flights this month.

The Department of Transportation enacted new laws in October 2024 that require any airline flying to, from, or within the US to give automatic refunds if passengers' flights are canceled or significantly changed for any reason. Importantly, the new federal rules specifically define what constitutes a "significant change" to a flight schedule, so both passengers and airlines know what types of delays qualify for refunds.

You could almost mistake it for an ad. Last week, the far-right Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was on the Amtrak Crescent traveling from the nation's capital to her home state, and she was enchanted. "The sweetest people run the train," she posted on X, alongside a video of the autumnal landscape rushing by. "And the morning views of my north Georgia mountains made me smile and warmed my heart."

But despite the step forward, airlines are still canceling or delaying hundreds of flights following the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) mandated capacity reductions. As of Wednesday afternoon, there were more than 1,700 delays within, into, or out of the United States and more than 1,000 cancellations, according to flight tracker FlightAware. Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) had the highest number of cancellations at more than 50 outbound flights, followed by Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Denver International Airport (DEN), and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).

Airlines have canceled more 9,000 flights across the U.S. since the Federal Aviation Administration ordered flight cuts late last week, mostly to ease demand on control towers that are short-staffed during the federal government shutdown. Although the government appears to be moving to reopen in the coming days, airport disruptions, flight cancellations and economic losses won't go away all at once.

After cruising across Asia, my sister and I thought we were heading back to the United States - until our flight home was unexpectedly canceled. After hours of sitting on the runway, maintenance issues forced our plane to return to the gate. We had wasted our entire day at the airport, so tensions were high as we deplaned and re-immigrated into Japan.

U.S. airlines again canceled more than 1,000 flights on Saturday, the second day of the Federal Aviation Administration's mandate to reduce air traffic because of the government shutdown. So far, the slowdown at many of the nation's busiest airports hasn't caused widespread disruptions. But it has deepened the impact felt by the nation's longest federal shutdown. We all travel. We all have somewhere to be, said Emmy Holguin, 36, who was flying from Miami Saturday to see family in the Dominican Republic. I'm hoping that the government can take care of this.

This is much higher than a directive on Wednesday when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) called on all airlines to reduce their schedules by 4 percent to address safety concerns amid limited staffing during the shutdown. The FAA said at the time the cuts will increase to 10 percent by next Friday if the shutdown has not ended by then.
