CXLD corresponds to what status?

• A. Connection or Connecting (Bags or Guests)
• B. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
• C. Cancelled
• D. Deadhead

Answer: (C)

CXLD is a shorthand used in airline operations to mark a cancellation. When a flight leg or booking is called off, CXLD shows up on manifests, crew rosters, and passenger lists to signal that this segment will not operate and should not be scheduled or boarded. It’s a specific indicator for cancellation, not to be confused with a connection status (which would point to a layover or linking leg), CPR (a medical emergency), or deadhead (a crew member traveling as a passenger for repositioning). So CXLD directly means Cancelled.
