Did the flight operate with passengers on it? In some cases a flight will cancel, but will still operate as a ferry flight ... meaning, without passengers. This is done to reposition a plane or to bring an airplane with a mechanical problem (where passengers are not allowed to fly) to one of the maintenance hubs.
