Mother Nature and Travel

As many seasoned and discretionary travelers have now realized, ice, snow, volcanic eruptions, thunderstorms, wind and more are playing a bigger role in disrupting a very sensitive air travel ecosystem. Snow in Houston has forced hundreds of flight cancellations and delays that impacted a major U.S. hub that will reverberate for days to come.

Once you add international geo-political complications, equipment failure, tight schedules, and congestion, it is not hard to realize that small and seemingly unrelated events can converge to be a disrutive force that can become a huge inconvenience to tens of thousands of travelers.

Airlines, airport authorities, and the FAA must work together to bring air travel to the 21st century. We have relied far too long on outdated methods, equipment and procedures that cannot handle today's and tomorrow's needs.
