Flight delays and cancellations in August 2025

Extreme summer heatwaves, which led to runway closures and aircraft performance issues
Ongoing staff shortages, especially during peak holiday weeks
Air traffic control (ATC) strikes and technical glitches in flight coordination systems
Overcrowded airports, leading to ground delays and missed connections
