Aviation Weather Delays

Weather Delays. We seem to have heard so much more about them in recent years. Is the weather getting worse? Are the newer planes less able to stand the rough weather than the planes of the past? Maybe travelers just complain more What is the reason for the 70% increase in flight delays and 23% increase in cancellations blamed on the weather since 1978? Are the airlines just using weather as a catch all to cover other problems …

…time. Lastly and perhaps most often lost in the discussion, our planet and its weather systems were not designed by man, but an almighty creator.With each new understanding there will no doubt be new complexities better understanding of the weather will no doubt lead to better forecasting and result in more efficient flight scheduling .Man has his limits and the weather certainly does not, so as always we will continue to work around it.
