A new Government Accountability Office report released Friday blames airlines, rather than bad weather, for the recent surge in flight delays and cancelations.
The GAO said that weather was the leading cause of cancelations in the two years before the pandemic, but the percentage of airline-caused cancelations began increasing in early 2021. From October through December 2021, airlines caused 60% or more of cancelations — higher that at any time in 2018 or 2019.
United Airlines Boeing 777-222 takes off at Los Angeles international Airport on Sept. 15, 2020, in Los Angeles. A spokeswoman for trade group Airlines for America said the majority of cancelations this year have been caused by severe weather and air traffic control outages. About 1,300 flights were canceled in one day because of an outage in a Federal Aviation Administration safety-alerting system.

New report blames airlines for most flight cancellationsCongressional investigators say airlines themselves are responsible for a rising percentage of canceled flights — more often than before the pandemic, when bad weather was the most common problem. The Government Accountability Office said Friday that most of the increase in flight cancellations during the travel recovery has been due to things airlines can control. That includes cancellations for maintenance issues, or because there wasn't a crew available. Much of the increase in airline-caused cancellations has happened at low-fare airlines, but the biggest carriers are also causing a higher percentage of their own cancellations, according to government data.
