Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department holds data on the number of commercial flight cancellations made per calendar year.

Information on the number of commercial flight cancellations made per calendar year at UK airports is collected and published by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Table 4a of the UK airport data publication provides information on the overall number of cancelled air transport movements by airport:
