Which US Airport Has The Most Flight Cancellations?

When it comes to flight cancellations, how does your airport stack up?

A new study by InsureMyTrip.com broke down which airports in the United States had the highest percentage of canceled trips.

New York City’s LaGuardia Airport had the highest percentage of flight cancellations at 3.23 percent. Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental came in second with 2.73 percent and Florida’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International rounded out the bottom three with 2.7 percent.

In terms of total cancellations last year, the U.S. Department of Transportation revealed Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport canceled the most flights with 5,419. A power outage in December caused 1,489 of those cancellations.

The rise in cancellations for Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport was also attributed to the impact of Hurricane Harvey on the region.

Another airport that struggled with canceled flights was Chicago’s O’Hare International, which racked up 3,719 cancellations last year. George Bush Intercontinental was also in the bottom three with 3,529 canceled flights.

While Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport had the most registered flight cancellations, it only had a 1.49 canceled flight percentage after serving a total of 364,655 flights.
