Plane: discover the companies on which you are most likely to have your flight canceled

2022-08-04T09:36:45.103Z


CLASSIFICATION – Affected by a lack of personnel, some carriers have had to drastically reduce their flight schedule in recent weeks. But some do better than others.


Along with price or comfort, punctuality is a determining factor in the reliability of an airline.

And on this criterion, not all are equal, as evidenced by the ranking established by Bloomberg.

The economic media specialist used data from the aeronautical analysis company Cirium to establish the ranking of the 19 major air carriers that canceled the most flights between April 26 and July 26, 2022.

The British company

Virgin Atlantic

climbed to the top of the ranking with 5.9% of the flight program canceled over this period, or 2,200 flights.

It is followed by the Dutch

KLM

(5.8%) and

Air New Zealand

(3.7%).

In Europe,

Air France

and

Ryanair

are doing quite well with respectively 0.9 and 0.7% of flights canceled in the last three months.

But the best students are to be found in Asia:

Singapore Airlines

,

Cathay Pacific

and

Air Asia

record less than 0.3% cancellations.

Airlines that canceled the most flights between April 26 and July 26, 2022:

  • Virgin Atlantic: 5.9%

  • KLM: 5.8%

  • Air New Zealand: 3.7%

  • Quantas: 3.3%

  • Lufthansa: 3.1%

  • British Airways: 3%

  • American Airlines: 2.6%

  • United Airlines: 2.6%

  • Delta Airlines: 2.5%

  • Iberia: 1.5%

  • Latam Airlines: 1.2%

  • Air France: 0.9%

  • Ryanair: 0.7%

  • Japan Airlines: 0.6%

  • ANA: 0.5%

  • Southwest Airlines: 0.5%

  • AirAsia: 0.3%

  • Cathay Pacific: 0.3%

  • Singapore Airlines: 0.1%

Lack of manpower

The disruptions are largely explained by the lack of manpower that both airlines and airports are suffering in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

A shortage of staff at the origin, this summer, of major strike movements and monster chaos in certain European airports, such as Amsterdam-Schiphol and London-Heathrow.

After laying off tens of thousands of pilots, crew, baggage handlers and security personnel during the pandemic, the industry cannot hire fast enough to keep pace

Bloomberg

points out .

A pace that is accelerating, as evidenced by the more sustained tourist recovery than expected.

Also according to Cirium, 25,000 flight cancellations are expected in August, more than half of them in Europe.

A figure which has something to challenge, but which represents little in view of the more than 3 million take-offs planned for August worldwide.

In Europe, this represents 2% of the flight program.
