Asia Air Travel Chaos: Delhi, Tokyo, Dubai Among Worst-Hit As 1,470 Flights Delayed, 67 Cancelled

Air travel across Asia was severely disrupted, with around 67 flights cancelled and nearly 1,470 delayed, leaving thousands of passengers stranded across multiple countries.

The disruption affected nations including Thailand, Japan, Singapore, the UAE, India, and Indonesia, as airports struggled to handle heavy passenger volumes and operational challenges.

Data from April 12 indicates a much larger scale of disruption during the day, with approximately 445 cancellations and 3,839 delays recorded across a wider region stretching from Northeast Asia to the Gulf, including China and Saudi Arabia. The situation led to overcrowded terminals and major schedule disruptions.

Several major airports faced intense pressure. Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport reported the highest number of delays at 216 along with 13 cancellations, followed by Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport with 199 delays.

In Japan, Tokyo’s Haneda Airport saw 182 delays, while Narita recorded 90 delays and 10 cancellations.
