Undoubtedly, having a flight canceled or delayed is synonymous with inconvenience for those who scheduled the trip, and other factors are also affected, such as: missing a connection, changes in hotel reservations and even the absence of an extremely important appointment. .
However, there is also the 'possible' good side of having the flight cancelled, especially when it occurs due to a mechanical failure, also including climatic factors, as we are talking about safety issues, something in aviation taken to the letter by the main air operators.
If on the one hand there is the frustration of having a flight canceled by an airline, there is also the other side that can go unnoticed: your safety.
Far from romanticizing the loss of a flight, it is important to emphasize the responsibility of airlines to prevent an aircraft from taking off with a breakdown or in a scenario with adverse weather conditions, showing how safe aviation is and that the well-being of engers and their employees will always come first, avoiding an air disaster.
If there are losses for engers, airlines are also affected, a clear example was in September last year, when a private jet had a tire burst on the runway at Congonhas Airport, completely interdicting operations at the airport for about 50 minutes .
In this ocasion, LATAM Brasil alone canceled 14 flights, impacting 1.677 engers, with another 18 flights in other basis through Brazil were delayed by more than 1 hour and a half.
Although aviation may seem unsafe to many people, what makes it one of the safest means of transport is precisely its security philosophy acquired over the years after tragedies and incidents, including also CRM training by the crew, thanks to smarter crisis management in decision-making during times of adversity.
