Mabrian Technologies, a leading travel data analytics company, conducted an analysis of the European airlines that canceled flights most often last summer.


Between July 17 and August 30, 2022, ten major European airlines canceled almost 9,000 flights. On average, this is 2 flights for every 100 departures scheduled by these carriers.


Which airlines canceled the most flights in 2022?


Leading the list of airlines with the largest number of cancellations is the main German air carrier Lufthansa. During the summer of 2022, the company canceled 2,521 scheduled departures at the last minute, or 3.69% of the carrier's total flights.

Second place was taken by Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) with 812 cancellations. Rounding out the top three was KLM Royal Dutch Airlines with 628 flights.


Full list of air carriers:


1. Lufthansa Airlines – 2,521 flights (3.69%).

What are the reasons for flight cancellations?


Due to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, many airlines and airports laid off a large part of their staff. After the revival of air travel, the lack of sufficient workers became a real problem for companies.

Remaining staff have struggled to cope with the influx of travelers this summer, with frequent strikes resulting in the cancellation of dozens of flights a day.

Analysts and experts hope that the management of airlines will draw a conclusion from the data of 2022 and will not repeat their mistakes in the new tourist season.
