While the importance of the airline industry is rising, flight cancellations are also increasing due to abnormal weather factors, such as rainfall and wind speed. Although previous studies on cancellations due to weather factors considered both aircraft and weather factors concurrently, the complex network studies only treated the aircraft factor with a single-layer network. Therefore, the aim of this study was to apply a multilayer complex network (MCN) method that incorporated three different factors, namely, aircraft, rainfall, and wind speed, to investigate aircraft cancellations at 14 airports in the Republic of Korea. The results showed that rainfall had a greater impact on aircraft cancellations compared with wind speed. To find out the most important node in the cancellation, we applied centrality analysis based on information entropy. According to the centrality analysis, Jeju Airport was identified as the most influential node since it has a high demand for aircraft. Also, we showed that characteristics and factors of aircraft cancellation should be appropriately defined by links in the MCN. Furthermore, we verified the applicability of the MCN method in the fields of aviation and meteorology. It is expected that the suggested methodology in this study can help to understand aircraft cancellation due to weather factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e25081209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,14]],"date-time":"2023-08-14T10:13:57Z","timestamp":1692008037000},"page":"1209","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Analysis of Weather Factors on Aircraft Cancellation using a Multilayer Complex Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1844-502X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyunghun","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, INHA University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hoyong","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program in Smart City Engineering, INHA University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myungjin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Disaster Management Team, Department of Safety and Health, Korea Electric Power Corporation, Naju 58322, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young Hye","family":"Bae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute Water Resources System, INHA University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8345-0610","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hung Soo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, INHA University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soojun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, INHA University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101974","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jairtraman.2020.101974","article-title":"Analysis of airport weather impact on on-time performance of arrival flights for the Brazilian domestic air transportation system","volume":"91","author":"Guterres","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
