Delays

No one likes delays. They can be just as frustrating for the crew as than for the passengers. Moreover Although everything is done to ensure that most flights take off and land on time, inevitably there are times when an aircraft is being held up will be held up . Some people mistakenly assume that if they are delayed for a long time, { something serious must be can be wrong. But it is more often air traffic controllers who have made made the decision to delay an aircraft from taking off, and the safety of passengers is always the most important reason behind their taking such action.

Pilots have to file a flight plan before their aircraft can take off. This plan is distributed to every controller along the flight route so that for everyone is aware of the time of arrival. If there is a shortage of landing space at the end destination or the air space above a certain country is very crowded, { air traffic control will not allow are not allowed an aircraft to start its engines.

if ($an aircraft will take off is taking off from a particularly busy airport, pilots will be given a specific time to start their engines. If, for whatever reason, pilots are not able cannot to make their time slot, { it can result in quite considerable delays. Pilots { have have to ask for a new time slot which could mean “going to the back of the line.”

Bad weather plays an important part in deciding although as because even if if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether to delay a flight. If the crew predicts possible strong turbulence {, although as because even if if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether there is no danger in flying in although as because even if if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether conditions, they will although as because if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether choose to delay take-off although as because even if if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether the weather calms down, purely for the sake of the passengers’ comfort. although as because even if if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether airborne, an aircraft can lose time although as because even if if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether it has to fly against a strong head wind. Heavy fog at a destination can also be a main delaying factor, although as because even if if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether can freezing rain, although as because even if if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether snow is not normally too although as because even if if many much nevertheless once otherwise since such than unless until whether of a problem.
