So far, almost 1,000 flights were cancelled Tuesday as of 1am New York time, according to the data provider. While that’s down from the more than 6,100 cancellations on Monday and Sunday’s 11,600 — the most since the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic — it underscores the persistent challenges airlines are facing in getting things back on track.
(Jan 27): US airlines are still paring back flights as a deep freeze hampers the restart of operations at some major hubs, with the industry bracing for further disruptions as another arctic blast looms later this week.
Delta Air Lines Inc said unfavourable weather conditions in the Northeast will affect services at its hubs in Boston and New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport. American Airlines Group Inc has already axed about 500 mainline and regional services on Tuesday (Jan 27), according to FlightAware, after scrapping more than half of its scheduled flights on Monday.
