JetBlue Flight delays, which are also encompassed by flight delays by JetBlue, are very much caused by several reasons, such as:
1. Weather Conditions: Bad weather at the point of origin/destination can also delay flights. Thunderstorms, snow, fog, and other extreme weather conditions can influence their schedules.”.
2. Air Traffic Control: Seldom, air traffic may turn out to be a delay-causing factor. ATC can hold a flight at the gate or in the air to maintain safe traffic flow.
3. Mechanical Problem: An aircraft, many times, needs repair or inspection due to mechanical problems. This calls for a delay because the safety of passengers comes first.
4. Availability of Crew: The scheduled times would be affected by the delay of crew members from a previous flight or lack of some personnel.
5. Airline Operation at Airports: Flights might miss their scheduled time because of ground handling delays such as baggage loading, boarding, or refueling of flights.
6. Systemic Factors: With more people traveling within peak periods of traveling, the airline schedules get overcrowded and schedule more delays.
7. Delayed Flights: It would obviously also affect the subsequent flight or flights due to the previous one’s delay, thus showing a chain effect.
To a passenger, it would appear that either airline is late at times, while the other is not. They do not understand that delays are going to happen on every airline at some point or other. Check the on-time performance record for JetBlue or any airline to get a much better sense of reliability.
