PARIS, Jan 5 (Reuters) - French civil aviation authority asked airlines to cancel 15% of flights on Monday afternoon and evening at Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports following heavy snowfalls in the area, a spokesperson told Reuters.
The airlines are free to choose which flights they cancel so long as they reduce takeoffs and landings.

Flight cancellations occur when an airline decides to not operate a scheduled flight, often due to weather conditions, technical issues, or operational considerations.
A snowstorm can significantly disrupt air travel by causing delays and cancellations due to unsafe landing and takeoff conditions, affecting both passengers and airlines.
