Airlines Blamed for Majority of Flight Cancellations in New Report

A report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found that airlines are responsible for most flight cancellations, including those caused by maintenance issues or lack of crew. The GAO also found that airlines are taking longer to recover from disruptions such as storms. The report was requested by Republican leaders of the House Transportation Committee. Airlines have clashed with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over blame for high rates of canceled and delayed flights in the past two years.
