Why did Capital Airport cancel flight 142?

In order to ensure the safety of passengers

Nowadays, with the gradual improvement of the domestic epidemic situation, most of the domestic work has begun to return to work. As a vital transportation hub, the airport has recovered to 90%. However, due to the thunder and lightning weather in Beijing recently, the Capital Airport has cancelled the flight 142, and when it can take off will have to wait for the specific news of the airport.

1. Thunderstorms are easy to damage airplanes. As we all know, thunderstorm weather is easy to produce lightning, which is very dangerous for airplanes flying in the air. Once the plane is struck by lightning, it is easy to cause the electronic communication equipment of the plane to fail, and it is impossible to get in touch with the corresponding staff on the ground in time and fly to the destination correctly. What's more, if lightning strikes the aircraft fuel tank, there may be a big explosion, and the consequences are unimaginable. Thunderstorm weather has a great influence on aircraft, so it should be avoided as much as possible.

Second, in order to ensure the safety of passengers, the cancellation of flights is to ensure the safety of passengers. There are a lot of dark clouds in thunderstorm weather. When the plane enters the clouds, those dark clouds will affect the pilot's sight, which may lead to certain safety hazards. Moreover, in thunderstorm weather, the plane is prone to bumps, which makes people uncomfortable to ride. In order to ensure the safety of passengers as much as possible, airports usually adjust flights in time to avoid these situations.

Third, the airport will provide accommodation for the stranded personnel. Generally, when the plane can't take off due to sudden weather, the airport will arrange those stranded people to stay in nearby hotels first, and the expenses will be paid by the airport. Once the airport decides that it can take off, it will immediately inform the relevant passengers to prepare for takeoff. For the humanized operation of the airport, we should still understand the airport.

It is not the reluctance of the airport that prevents the plane from taking off in thunderstorm weather, but for the safety of our passengers, which we can all understand.
