Explained in plain English

How does weather affect flights?

Bad weather, like the conditions that stranded the Red Arrows in Canada, can significantly impact flight schedules. Strong winds, heavy rain, or low visibility can make it unsafe for aircraft to take off, land, or even fly certain routes. Safety is always the priority, leading to delays or cancellations.
