There is no need for a separate controller, one way would be to handle it within the flights controller Edit action, using a url parameter or the Submit button name to indicate that cancel is required rather than edit. However, REST should not be treated as a religion to which all requirements must bow. I would say there is nothing wrong with what you have done (provided that you have used a POST to do it).
