Why was it canceled?

[shmu]

“I am writing to inform you with the heaviest heart that due to an unforeseen mechanical, technical and emergent situation that is beyond our control, we have no choice but to let you all know our scheduled flight has been canceled."

There's still 75 seats available on the charter flight from Miami

It was 30 seats in the end. Otherwise they would have to stop to refuel. Some people are going to make it iyh.

*עדכוני חב"ד; המשך הדרמה - המטוס במיאמי מחכה*

כפי שדיווחנו מוקדם יותר, המטוס המיועד שהיה אמור לצאת מניו יורק עם כ-300 חסידים לכיוון אלמא אטא, בוטל בגלל בעיות חמורות בהתנהלות חברת התעופה הפרטית.
רבים חזרו לביתם מאוכזבים ומתוסכלים, אך כמה עשרות חסידים הצליחו בכל זאת לצאת מיידית למיאמי, משם היה אמור להמריא בשעה 10 בלילה המטוס של "כינוס השלוחים האיזורי - פלורידה" עם 175 שלוחים וחסידים.
כיון שנותרו כשבעים כסאות ריקים, נעשו מאמצים קדחתניים לאשר הצטרפות נוסעים חדשים.
הטיסה *נדחתה בשעתיים* ונוספה עצירה לצורך תדלוק במדריד ספרד, כך תתאפשר נסיעתם של עוד חסידים ושלוחים מרחבי ארה"ב שמגיעים בדקות אלו מכל רחבי ארה"ב לשדה התעופה במיאמי פלורידה.

Same group did this last year no problem. But that was with LY. And they say you get what you pay for..

If the issue was a last minute mechanical, there's often nothing you can do about that (replacement aircraft similar size and price etc.).

The technical part is an awesome excuse to use, I was able to predict it last week
