There’s probably a good chance that you or a family member will be traveling by air this summer. While we all enjoy the long days of sunshine the season brings, summer also presents unique travel challenges. Passengers line up inside crowded airport terminals, as lines of thunderstorms percolate outside. (blog.flightaware.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Come on, it's 2024, entitled passengers must be allowed to control airport and aircraft operations no matter the weather conditions. There is no acceptable excuse to cancel a flight because of any type of weather.
Funchal Airport, Madeira, is regularly closed because violent cross winds and windshear result when gale force winds occur and would make it's use highly dangerous. Are you saying that this is not an acceptable excuse and that, rather than cancel a flight, the aircrew should risk their own and their passengers lives anyway?
The ultimate responsability must rest with the Airport Operators and the Airlines and that's as it should be. This frequent flyer would rather that they put 'safety' at the very top of their priorities rather than 'whatever the weather we still fly'.

Fellow repliers: You don't seem to understand irony.
Entitled passengers? Have you ever read the contract of carriage for the airline tickets you purchase? Federal rules are heavily biased in favor of the airline, and passenger rights (for the ones that still exist) are weak. This is the first real effort toward any kind of parity.

Control airport and operations?
How can one over step Operations, The Tower and The FAA regulations?
There are so many factors for a flight to be canceled.
It can be cancelled by the tower due Dense fog , poor visibility ( under 6 miles visual) , mechanical, unexpected weather, emergency or other problems such as security breach.
It’s not of interest for an Airline to cancel a flight . They loose Money and they have to pay other costs and pay crew members.
Passengers are not entitled to make safely decisions for The Tower , the crew or FAA regulations.

I see the airline lackies are out in force on this.
