Airlines With The Most Cancellations in 2024 🚫

What We're Showing

The top 15 airlines with the highest cancellation rates and their total number of flights in 2024.

Data comes from Cirium.

Key Takeaways

• Dana Air had the highest cancellation rate among airlines tracked by Cirium, largely due to its suspension in April 2024 by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority following a runway incident. As of January 2025, the airline remains grounded pending safety and financial audits.
• Most of the airlines with high cancellation rates are based in the Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa regions, with only one North American airline (Cape Air) among the list.
• Airlines that connect remote or island areas—such as Air Seychelles, Winair (Caribbean), Air Austral (Réunion and Indian Ocean islands), and Cape Air (U.S. and Caribbean)—often face higher cancellation rates due to challenges related to weather, infrastructure, and operational complexities.
