What does the red color code mean on the flight list?

From left to right you have airline, flight number, gate, departure time, and status. The Status shows up in a few different colors. Green means the flight is on time, blue means the flight has arrived, orange indicates a delay, and red is for a flight that has been canceled.

In addition, not all airspace activity is always relayed to FlightRadar24 at all times.
