Delays have eased up Saturday, with at least 2,200 flights delayed in the United States and 578 cancellations.
LOS ANGELES -- There appears to be no end of trouble in sight for flyers this week -- a chaotic July Fourth weekend has spawned more than 1,100 cancellations since Friday as airlines grapple with staffing shortages and poor weather amid an abundance of passengers.
Delays have eased up Saturday, however, with at least 2,200 flights delayed in the United States and 578 cancellations. Delays were concentrated in New York-area airports, according to FlightAware data. So far this year, US airlines have canceled 3.5% of flights, up 42% over 2019, according to Department of Transportation data.
As airlines contend with staffing shortages, Delta, United Airlines, JetBlue and Alaska Airlines have already preemptively trimmed their summer schedules.
