Europe’s skies are experiencing a wave of flight cancellations today, with travellers facing significant delays and abrupt changes to travel plans. Verified cancellation data from FlightAware — the world’s leading real-time flight tracking platform — shows that several major airlines have grounded flights across key European hubs, including Amsterdam Schiphol, Paris Charles de Gaulle, and other major European gateways.
This disruption comes at a time when air travel demand is high and airlines are running tight schedules with limited buffer capacity.

Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport Cancelled Flights Today
FlightAware’s “Cancelled Today” airport tracker shows a flow of cancellations at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, although exact flight numbers are restricted on the public page. It confirms continuous cancellation activity at CDG — one of Europe’s busiest hubs.
Why Are These Cancellations Happening?
Flight cancellations rarely happen in isolation. Verified reports and industry data show:
- Airport congestion and over-saturated schedules.
- Crew and aircraft rotation issues affecting connected flights.
- Limited slack in peak travel periods amplifies knock-on effects.
Some contextual analysis from AirHelp suggests recent weeks have seen hundreds of delays and cancellations across major European hubs including Amsterdam and Paris, often affecting airlines such as KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, British Airways, SAS, Vueling, and easyJet.
Passenger Impact: What Travelers Must Know
These cancellations and the resulting delays have direct human consequences:
📍 Missed connections and onward flights
📍 Long wait times at terminals
📍 Rebooking and refund stress
📍 Missed meetings, holidays, and family reunions
When a flight is cancelled — especially international services like KLM’s long-haul routes or easyJet’s busy European routes — passengers must engage with airline customer service immediately to rebook or obtain refunds.
How FlightAware Makes a Difference
Amid chaos and confusion at busy international airports, FlightAware’s real-time flight tracking platform becomes an indispensable tool for travellers:
1. Instant Cancellation Alerts
Passengers can see exactly which flights are cancelled, down to the flight number and origin/destination, directly from live feeds.
2. Time-Stamped Real-Time Data
Unlike airport departure boards with delays in updates, FlightAware pulls live aviation data from global surveillance systems and airline operations feeds.
3. Helps Avoid Unnecessary Waits
By knowing your flight status before leaving home or hotel, you save hours of wasted time and emotional stress.
4. Tailored Alerts
Users can receive flight status updates via app notifications — crucial during times of disruption.
Final Takeaway
Today’s wave of flight cancellations — documented directly via FlightAware’s cancellation trackers for KLM, Air France, and easyJet — is a major travel disruption affecting Europe’s busiest skies.
But accurate, live flight data changes the way travellers cope with chaos. When uncertainty strikes — whether it’s at Amsterdam Schiphol, Paris Charles de Gaulle, or regional European airports — FlightAware stands out as one of the most trustworthy sources for real-time flight status.
It helps travellers stay informed, reduce anxiety, and take proactive steps to rebook, reroute, or adjust their journey with confidence — even amid unprecedented disruptions.
