Could you please let us know what query paramaters you are using? At this time the cancelled instance of MU2882 appears as the third result in FlightInfoEx with the request parameter `ident=MU2882` and has the faFlightID of `CES2882-1581313533-airline-0177`.

No flight id was generated for the schedule entry MU2822 on 2020-02-10 15:05z due to the way the cancellation occurred. This is a case where the schedule represented an intended flight that didn’t actually occur.
