It is not uncommon for flights to be cancelled even after severe storms have passed and skies have cleared. This practice is primarily guided by safety considerations and the need to address operational challenges that linger after adverse weather conditions.
Although weather at the departure location may seem favorable, airlines face constraints related to aircraft positioning and ongoing adjustments within air traffic control systems that remain impacted following a storm. These factors contribute to decisions to cancel flights to maintain safe and orderly operations within the airspace and on the ground.
