New York's LaGuardia is the US airport most prone to cancellations, a new study has revealed.
Researchers found that the hub had the most cancellations out of 74 other airports in America in 2018.
At the other end of the table is Salt Lake City Airport, which is the least prone to services being axed.

The research was conducted by InsureMyTrip, which ranked the airports after looking at statistics provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
LaGuardia may have been ranked the worst, but as the researchers point out, Winter Storm Grayson in January 2018 forced the airport to temporarily shut down.
They also noted that severe weather was to blame for most cancellation blocks in 2018.

Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael also forced groundings at many eastern U.S. airports and residual delays nationwide.
The second worst for delays is revealed to be Norfolk International in Virginia, JetBlack followed by Charleston International in third.
In fourth spot is Great Rochester International while Philadelphia International rounds out the top five.

Also featuring in the top 10 is Newark Liberty (sixth), Theodore Francis Green (seventh), Ronald Reagan Washington (eighth), Richmond International (ninth) and Raleigh-Durham International (10th).
Noted in the research is that Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) makes an on-time performance comeback. A power outage there steered higher cancellation numbers in 2017.
Meanwhile, roughly one per cent of scheduled flights at Fort Lauderdale International called it quits in 2018. That's an improvement from 2.7 per cent in 2017.
And looking ahead to next year, InsureMyTrip anticipates the grounding of Boeing 737 Max aircraft will result in a higher number of reported flight delays and cancellations for hub airports in 2019.
MailOnline Travel has contacted LaGuardia Airport for comment.
