Real-Time Delays

Media outlets can obtain flight delay and cancellation information for Chicago’s airports on this page. The charts below display average delay times at each airport for the next two hours and the total number of scheduled flights, delayed flights and cancellations for a 24-hour period starting at 12:00 a.m. For information about a specific flight or air​line please check directly with the air carrier.

Flight delays, cancellations and re-routes are determined by a variety of factors. A​​dverse weather at the departure point, destination or points in between accounts for the majority of delays. Equipment, security, personnel (crews timing out), re-routes and airline-specific issues can accou​nt for the remainder. Decisions to ca​ncel flights are made by the airlines.
