what flights will be cancelled

Most flight cancellations right now are tied to bad winter weather in Europe and a cyclone in Australia, plus separate security-related suspensions of flights to Iran.

Key cancellations today

• Europe winter storms :
  • Severe cold, snow, and ice are disrupting flights in France, Turkey, Germany, Finland, the UK and other countries, causing at least 169 flight cancellations and over 2,400 delays across Europe.

* Major affected airports include Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS), Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), Frankfurt (FRA), and others, with Schiphol alone having seen hundreds of cancellations over recent days due to snow and wind.

• North Queensland (Australia) – Cyclone Koji :
  • Townsville Airport has been closed, and Qantas, Virgin, and Jetstar have cancelled or retimed dozens of flights affecting Hamilton Island, Townsville, Mackay, and Proserpine through about 10–12 January because of Tropical Cyclone Koji.

• Flights to Iran – protests and security :
  • Flydubai has cancelled its flights to Iran through 11 January due to nationwide protests and an internet blackout, telling passengers to check flight status and contact the airline for rebooking or refunds.

* Other carriers including Turkish Airlines, AJet, Pegasus and some Gulf-based airlines have also cancelled multiple flights to Iranian cities amid unrest and security concerns.

What this means for “what flights will be cancelled”

There is no single fixed list that predicts all future cancellations, because airlines and airports adjust schedules hour by hour based on weather and security. Current patterns show that:

• Flights are most likely to be cancelled right now:
  • To, from, or via heavily affected European hubs (especially in France, the Netherlands, Turkey, Finland, Germany, and the UK) during the ongoing winter storm period.

* In North Queensland (Australia) around Townsville, Hamilton Island, Mackay, and Proserpine while Cyclone Koji impacts the region.

* Between Gulf/European hubs and Iranian cities such as Tehran, Shiraz, and Mashhad, where multiple airlines have temporarily suspended or reduced services.

Because cancellations change quickly, the only way to know if a specific flight “will be cancelled” is to:

1. Check your airline’s Manage Booking or flight status page using your reference code.

2. Look at your departure airport’s live arrivals/departures board on its official website.

3. If your route touches any of the regions above, plan for possible disruption and consider earlier or alternative flights.
