With record flights being cancelled through 2022, and the holiday season not even here yet, PriceLimo used the 2022 Bureau of Transportation Statistics Data to conduct a study to see which airlines had the highest number of cancelations and delays.
During the past year, U.S. airlines have canceled more than 128,000 flights, already surpassing the almost 117,000 flights that were canceled during all of 2021. There are still plenty more headaches to come for flyers in 2022 as the holidays are approaching, likely due to shortages in airline equipment and personnel.
Many airlines retired or scrapped a significant amount of machinery at the height of the pandemic, and there are fewer incoming pilots to replace the ones retiring.
