WEATHER IMPACTS ON AVAITION

The single most common cause of delayed and canceled flights by a far margin is weather-related. They make up about 75% of all the delays and cancellations. The state that has the most delays far above the rest is New York. I have never flown out of there, but after knowing this, I never would want to do that in winter. Have you ever been delayed or had a canceled flight yourself? It is annoying, and much extra time can be spent sleeping in airports. Luckily, this has never happened to me, and I hope it never happens again to anyone. But this is not likely with the ever-changing weather that we are experiencing. Please check out the article in my references to see more interesting facts on aviation due to weather.  References  https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/programs/weather/faq
