Chengdu Shuangliu Airport ranked eighth in the world on time in February. What are the related factors of aircraft delay?

Encountering extreme weather or rainstorm will not only make people feel very bad, but also affect their normal life. The most direct impact is to delay or even cancel flights.

As for the reasons for the plane delay, there are many factors besides the weather.

According to the introduction of relevant departments, aircraft delays are mainly caused by five reasons, among which the proportion of aircraft delays or delays caused by weather accounts for 34.35%, ranking first;

In addition, 26.52% is caused by air traffic control;

19. 16% is due to the relevant management system of airlines;

And 13.53% is due to the influence of military activities;

6.44% is caused by other reasons.

Regarding why the weather has such a great influence on the delay of aircraft, some professionals talked about:

Although many passengers see light rain on the ground, it is likely to be heavy rain and lightning in the air. Sometimes it looks sunny, and the weather in Wan Li is fine. However, it is very likely that there will be crosswinds at high altitude, and it is these reasons that will cause the plane to fail to take off normally.

Besides the weather, air traffic control also plays a great role.

It is understood that the airspace available for civil aviation accounts for about 30%, while civil aviation flights account for 80% of all flights, and the annual growth rate continues to rise at 10%. However, the growth rate of airspace obviously has not reached such a high level, which has also become a problem that cannot be solved in the short term.

Some professionals explained that there are three ways to ease the tension in airspace:

First, establish a more flexible coordination and linkage mechanism;

Second, establish a comprehensive flow control and collaborative decision-making system;

Third, make the allocation of resources more balanced.

Flight delay or even cancellation is caused by the interaction of many factors, which is more frequent in China. But in the face of this situation, many passengers can't understand it, and even have excessive behavior because of their impatience, but in fact, they can't solve any problems except venting their emotions.

Don't be too impatient in the face of such situation. If you can choose other safe modes of travel, you can change them in time. If not, wait patiently according to the arrangement of relevant departments.
