The aviation sector has faced numerous operational challenges since the pandemic, with air travel coming to a screeching halt and plummeting to levels not seen before. Although a recovering economy helped the U.S airlines to witness a surge in bookings in the past months, another hiccup of increased flight cancellations and delays came.
According to FlightAware.com, airlines have canceled more than 50,000 flights, while more than half a million flights have been delayed since Memorial Day weekend. Additionally, labor shortages and a lack of skilled personnel have made it difficult for airlines to return to their pre-pandemic levels.
