The Main Reason Why Planes Get Delayed

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

To be fair, about 80% of all flights are ON time - that is, within 15 minutes of the scheduled time. The other 20% are delayed, and it might seem a huge number, but consider this: a commercial flight is not like hopping into a car and driving away. It’s an extremely serious operation that requires lots of coordinated work from hundreds of people. Just recall how many steps do you, as a passenger, need to take to get on board!

SUMMARY:
- An airplane must get clearance to depart from its home airport. Then, after arrival to another country, issues have to be solved to get clearance to depart from there once again. All of this requires time.
- Even a direct lightning strike can’t do much harm to a plane, and it happens more often than you think! However, nobody would risk hundreds of lives and an expensive aircraft for no good reason, and weather delays do occur.
- Pilots run final checks right before the flight, and if they see something’s off, they call the ground crew and fix things together.
- Preparing an airplane is a serious business, and any mistake here can cost much more than just money or time.
- Connecting flights are the most difficult to handle for obvious reasons: there are two different airplanes that need to adjust their schedules to each other.
- Delays caused by cargo are usually not too long, so you won’t be asked to return to the gate while waiting and loading is in process. Still, it can take up to an hour, so you’ll have to be patient.
- Often, the crew for your flight arrives from another one that has just landed in your airport. And it sometimes happens that their previous flight is not exactly on schedule for some reason.
- Many airplanes have precise weight restrictions, and if they’re violated, the flight is not allowed.
- If you’re at a busy airport, you just might get delayed because your service hasn’t delivered the food for your airplane on time.
- Airport employees go on strikes almost every year, and it’s among the top reasons for flight delays in Europe.
- It might seem weird, but flight traffic is getting heavier with every passing year, and airlines keep getting in trouble with that.
- The number of flights keeps growing, and it’s getting harder and harder to keep track of all of them, especially since the ATC equipment is not really up-to-date.

    I moved from iran to malaysia a week ago. And our flight was delayed from 7:50pm to 4:00am because the plane had a broken engine. We didnt even eat dinner until 12:00 We actually started to fly when we were supposed to land. First they try to fix the engine. After 3 hours, we were escorted to the airport while they still tryed to fix the engine. After a while we were escorted to the lounge. And then at like 3:30 they again escorted us to the airport and we had to go through security again. And finally they brought us to the airplane and informed us that they had gotten a completely new airplane, a newer one. The airplane was so new that it had to go they had to do some security checks to see if it was safe or not. Im kinda happy that happened because the plane that we were originally supposed to use was super old and while they were only 20 passengers, we were all cramped in one spot but in thenewer airplane, we could go to which ever seat we wanted and we got 3 middle rows to sleep in.

    As a former flight loader, 9 reasons I've experienced first hand in addition to the video: 1) Late passengers: decisions have to be made to let you fly or not. If we decide not, we need time to offload your bag and re-load all other bags removed to find it. If your bag was first, that means unloading and reloading the entire flight! If you arrive too close to pushback time, you're off and the flight and it's delayed for everyone else! 2) Broken windscreen wiper: even though it doesn't rain above the clouds, planes need these! That flight was delayed 4 hours 3) Ice on the wings: No de-icer crew was available and it not safe to fly with ice on wings or instrument sensors. 2+ hours after loading complete. 4) Strike: Aircraft damage. In-flight damage occurs. It ALWAYS has to be reported. Sometime this means an engineer comes to inspect. Like all other creq, they aren't always immediately available. Delay will be even longer if a repair is required and can't be done immediately 5) Faulty aircraft parts: It is safe to fly with some parts not functioning correctly. e.g. APU (basically the starter motor) means engines need to be started and run to temperature in the stand (it is usually done by pilot after pushback). This requires a jump starting machine to run for a long time before departure, and they aren't always available. Due to the amount of time they need to run, this is the cause of the delay 6) Late bag delivery. When you check in, the bag goes to the belt. They are a specific department and they drive the bags to the ramp for the loaders to load. This is usually the shortest of the delays here as in worst case scenario, bags are not loaded to save time and you will arrive without your bag. 7) Aircraft damage: damage by crew. We have to drive with limited visibility in VERY close proximity to aircraft (literally 1 to 2 inches from the aircraft) inevitably this occasionally causes hits. This is rare though due to procedures and penalties. The worker who causes the damage usually is either suspended during investigation or fired. 8) Slow loading due to short staff of the ground crew. Usually the real reasno, but rarely the official reason. 9) Ground crew equipment failure. e.g. the loading belt or push tug fails and replacements have to be found. Very common! Delays the actual loading. The ingenuity and methods we've had to use to bypass the equipment failure and carry on loading manually are funny. saved many a delay! e.g. Throwing bags from the ground for a crew member to catch it in the hold.

    Back in 1994, I was on a flight that was delayed on the ground for some 2.5 hours because a warning light wasn’t working and the light had to be working before the flight could depart. Since we were still at the gate, after the initial delay we were allowed to leave the aircraft. After the second delay, we were allowed to use our boarding passes to get food in the terminal since it was around the time we would have had meal service had the flight left on time. While I was in line, a customer service agent told us that the plane was fixed and ready for departure, so I got my food to go. The airline made the inflight entertainment complimentary due to the delay (food was free but IFE was something like $3).

    Before we boarded the plane, we waited 5 hours outside the airport at night, from 1 to 6 because we were early, why? Because the hotel let us away early night, why? Because of timing... anyways don’t want to go that back to the story, but after waiting 5 hours OUTSIDE, we waited another 2 hours to actually board the plane, why? See the comment above.

    I got delayed because of global geopolitics. Flight was to leave at 3:15. Boarding did not happen until 3:00. The flight was rerouted as one nation closed its airspace to flights starting or ending in its neighbor. This rippled to missing my connection and seeing those who could leave the airport delayed to the following day, and those who could not gaining priority in rescheduling for the same day.

    It's more down to fuel efficiency and new materials, but design has changed. Look at the A350 and 787 as recent new models. Aircraft fuel is VERY expensive, so a little drag reduction over flights of thousands of miles makes a big saving.

    As a former airline fueler it was a really bad feeling to have the flight delayed because the captain asked for more fuel at the last minute. Sometimes we had to get permission from our superiors before giving extra fuel. But that too caused delays. Also while fueling the planes you could clearly see how fussy the passengers were getting because the flight had yet to pull off. A very stressful job.

    Well, I'm going to come at the from the other direction, since I work on the ramp at a major airport. One, yes, in the air an airplane doesn't bother that much with lightning, on the ground on the other hand lightning can cause some major delays because the ramp closes down when lightning is within the area we have ramp closures that means no work is going on to get the airplanes out, no getting planes on/off the gate, no loading baggage/food, no fueling. As for the weight loads on aircraft, at my airport most of the non-regional aircraft use carts instead of tankers though tankers do have one advantage of being able to pump fuel off an aircraft if needed, though that if often because of overfueling or recalculating the fuel loads at the dispatch level. And finally not only can aircraft and equipment break down (my tanker stopped pumping in middle of fueling my last aircraft last night) but with space being a premium on the ramp sometimes parking equipment in the wrong spot can prevent other needed equipment from getting where it needs to go to service said aircraft.

    A missing passenger is the no.1 cause of delay. For security reasons you have to offload their bag, which is sometimes very hard to find inside the compartment therefore causing a delay.

    Crew got in from another flight . They might also have become beyond legal working limits. In that case they need to find a fresh crew. You’ll wait plenty or be scrubbed altogether. If you plane is only half full expect to combine you into another flight that is fuller 😵
