Are ITA Airways Flight Interruptions Common?
Unfortunately, if you travel enough, delayed and cancelled flights are a real possibility. According to Eurocontrol’s 2023 report, the average European airline arrives on time on 71% of flights. With ITA Airways, that number was slightly above average at 73% in 2023. The concern is that this is an 8% drop from 2022, which should be concerning for passengers.
Year | ITA Departure Punctuality | ITA Arrival Punctuality |
2022 | 88% | 81% |
2023 | 83% | 73% |
Difference | -5% | -8% |
It’s safe to say that based on the 2023 numbers at least 1 out of every 4 ITA Airways flights will arrive late. If this trend continues downward, our real-time ITA Airways flights delayed list will become even more important.
As for the ITA Airways cancelled flights list, about 1.09% of the company’s flights appear. With an average of 393 daily departures, passengers can expect approximately 4 flights to be cancelled every day.

Most Commonly Disrupted ITA Airways Flights
Relying on data from FlightStats between the 1st of June to the end of July 2024, we have compiled a list of the routes that are most likely to appear on the ITA Airways flights delayed list.
You’ll notice that Rome Fiumicino is one of the worst airports. Although this is the airline’s hub, most of the flights that depart from here are chronically delayed, whereas the ones that arrive here are not. So, we can conclude that it’s not ideal to leave from this airport, unfortunately. This tracks with info from Eurocontrol, which shows that in 2023, Rome Fiumicino only had a 59% overall on-time departure record.
In the cases below, each route was late at least 50% of the time, and some had excessive delays. For example, the longest delay on flight AZ608 from Fiumicino to New York JFK was 212 minutes (over 3.5 hours). At least you would potentially qualify for ITA Airways flight delay compensation if you were on this flight!
Departure Airport | Arrival Airport | Flight Number | On-Time Rate | Excessive Delay Rate |
Rome Fiumicino | Delhi | AZ770 | 16% | 31% |
Rome Fiumicino | Heraklion | AZ736 | 23% | 15% |
Rome Fiumicino | New York JFK | AZ608 | 30% | 43% |
Rome Fiumicino | AZ404 | 30% | 33% | |
Rome Fiumicino | Toronto Pearson | AZ650 | 31% | 28% |
Rome Fiumicino | Boston Logan | AZ614 | 34% | 33% |
Heraklion | Rome Fiumicino | AZ737 | 38% | 23% |

Why Does ITA Airways Cancel Flights?
It’s a fact that airlines can do everything possible to avoid cancellations, yet they still happen every day. A few examples of why your flight might end up on the ITA Airways flights cancelled list are as follows:
- Bad weather conditions.
- Mechanical or maintenance problems that can’t be fixed in time.
- Airport or airspace congestion.
- Airline-specific problems such as crew shortages and ITA Airways strikes.
- Security threats.
Can ITA Airways Flight Interruptions Be Avoided?
Unfortunately no, but there are steps you can take to try to decrease your chances of having your flight cancelled or delayed. With these tips, your flight is less likely to appear on the ITA Airways flight problems list:
- Fly in the morning (or as early as possible). With later flights, the aircraft will have (hopefully) completed multiple flights before it gets to your airport. More trips equals more potential for issues.
- Limit your flight connections. When you book trips with connections, this also increases the potential for disruption, especially missed connections. Now, you’re not just relying on one flight to be on time, but possibly multiple flights.
- Avoid the most delayed routes. Although not always possible, try to avoid any routes that are on the frequently disrupted list for ITA Airways. Often, there are at least a few other options with ITA for the same destination.
What To Do If Your ITA Airways Flight Gets Delayed or Cancelled
- Search for alternate options. In the case of excessive projected delays and cancellations, look into your options right away. Different airlines and different airports should be considered if your flight is on the ITA Airways disruptions list.
- Stay updated. Consult our ITA Airways flights delayed list often. This will improve your reaction time to get ahead of the curve before other passengers realize there is even an interruption.
- Know your passenger rights.Regulation EU261 covers all your rights for flight disruptions in the EU. Using our free compensation checker lets you know what to expect to judge whether an ITA Airways offer is fair or not.
We have airline compensation experts who can assist you if you want to make an ITA Airways complaint. We can save you time and typically get higher cash payouts than if you complete the process yourself.
