How Likely Are Air Europa Flight Cancellations and Delays?

Looking at the on-time performance data from OAG, we can see that Air Europa has a pretty good reputation for flights arriving on time. In 2023, the airline was slightly behind other European carriers with 83.5% punctuality, but they seem to be improving steadily. In the first part of 2024, they reached 84%, but these numbers will likely change because of the massive Crowdstrike outage.

This is why having the Air Europa flight list at your fingertips can help mitigate the trouble caused by delays and cancellations. All you have to do is locate your flight in the list, select it, and see your rights and the details about the flight status and the next steps to take.

Airports With the Most Disruptions

As we said, sometimes flight delays and cancellations can be traced to the airport where the flight is arriving or departing. This can be caused by heavy passenger volume during certain parts of the year or air traffic control restrictions - even weather events can be more common in some locations resulting in more delays.

Why Your Air Europa Flight Was Cancelled or Delayed

If operational problems at the airport or air traffic control didn’t cause your flight to be delayed, then it could be any number of other issues with the airline. Sometimes extraordinary circumstances like political unrest or widespread IT outages can cause a flight to be interrupted. Other causes include:

What To Do If Your Flight Is Cancelled

  • Rebook another flight

When a flight is cancelled, remember that all the other passengers for that flight will be scrambling to find alternate plans. So, as soon as you learn about the cancellation, act quickly to get booked onto another flight. 

  • Stay informed by using the Air Europa flight list

This is an essential tool to help you stay up-to-date on any route changes.

  • See if you’re eligible for compensation

As an EU airline, Air Europa must comply with the rules of EU261 regulations. This means that you could be owed airline compensation! Because of this, we recommend entering your flight details into our compensation calculator. You’ll see your estimated compensation amount instantly. Plus it’s free and super easy to use.

Ways to Avoid Air Europa Flight Delays

Again, you might not be able to travel free of all flight disruptions, but you can reduce your chances of having one.

Booking early morning flights is one of the best ways to avoid cancellations and delays. Like any appointment in the morning, flights have a significantly lower chance of being interrupted by earlier problems. 

Booking direct flights is also helpful because you can rule out the chance of missing a connection. If you have to connect, then try to reduce the number of connections if possible.

Avoiding airports with a reputation for being very busy and congested can help reduce your chances of flight disruptions. And if possible, avoid busier travel seasons!
