More than 1,300 flights from the United States were canceled as of Monday night and more than 7,400 flights were delayed, according to flight tracking website FlightAware.
According to the portal, nine hundred US flights were canceled on Sunday (21).
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was particularly hard hit, with hundreds of departures and arrivals canceled and about half of its departing flights delayed, FlightAware data showed.
The Dallas/Fort Worth area was gripped by heavy rains and flooding. Travelers at other Texas airports, including Dallas Love Field, Houston and Austin, also faced many cancellations and delays due to bad weather.
Also contributing to nationwide cancellations and delays were the three airports in the New York metropolitan area. Fifteen percent of Newark Liberty flights were cancelled. JFK and LaGuardia airports had many cancellations and hundreds of delays.
Meanwhile, flights at Chicago O’Hare International Airport were plagued by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) personnel issues. The FAA also blamed the wind.
“Operations at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport are back to normal after the FAA reduced traffic for about an hour earlier this evening. Winds and Covid-19 staff have disrupted departures to O’Hare from select Midwest airports,” the FAA said in a statement.
