Salt Lake City International Airport has nation’s lowest flight cancellation rate

That’s according to a study released Tuesday by InsureMyTrip, a travel insurance company, based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

It said only 0.4 percent of flights at Salt Lake City International — 448 out of 111,912 flights — were canceled that year.

The next lowest rates at the nation’s 25 busiest airports were at Phoenix Sky Harbor International, 0.56 percent; Minneapolis-St. Paul International, 0.57 percent; and Seattle-Tacoma International, 0.61 percent.

The report said bad weather is the top reason for cancellation — and LaGuardia’s rate, for example, suffered because of cancellations from Winter Storm Stella last year.
