As I write this, it's roughly 0030 Monday in Europe on the Continent, and I'm seeing what I think is an unusually large number of delays at major airports. I've checked some of the airports' weather observations, and didn't see anything extraordinary.

Am I just naive regarding Sunday night's operations, or is there something else going on?

Thanks.

Does look too unusual in my opinion. Not like there's too much traffic going on anywhere.

Yes, that was also puzzling -- looked at a couple of the airports shown with delays, skies virtually empty.

Maybe Flightaware is all wet.

Some of the airports in your list are closed for passenger operations at the time of day you posted (e.g. FRA). So, either a computer glitch or older data from thr day before, or whatever, but certainly not real-time info!

Thank you, I like the stale data theory. Certainly this is not the first issue I've encountered with Flightaware.
