According to leading aviation data provider Cirium, only two per cent of the entire flight schedule for Europe in August has been cancelled.

Airlines all over the world have cancelled more than 25,000 flights from their flight schedules for August, with around 60 per cent of them in Europe.

The most recent data provided by Cirium shows that currently, Europe is the most affected area.
Up until now, a total of 15,788 flights that were scheduled to fly in August have been cancelled in Europe.

However, even though this is a high number of flight cancellations, it represents only two per cent of the entire flight schedule for Europe in August.

The latter cancelled 4,408 take-offs last week alone, SchengenVisaInfo.com reported.
