Extreme weather events have been causing travel chaos across Europe this winter.
Hundreds of Flights Canceled Wednesday Amid Winter Storm, Boeing Concerns — What to Know
10.01.2024 - 17:19 / travelandleisure.com / Kathy Hochul
Airlines canceled more than 640 flights as of Wednesday morning as a storm slammed large parts of the Northeast.
Wednesday’s widespread flight cancellations affected airports from New York to Seattle and followed more than 1,400 cancellations within, into, or out of the United States from the day before, according to flight tracker FlightAware. On Wednesday, more than 1,000 flights had also been delayed.
However, of the hundreds of flights canceled on Wednesday, United Airlines had the largest share, followed by Alaska Airlines, indicating that at least some of those disruptions were due to the grounding of all Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft.
Regardless, many of the cancellations were due to a powerful storm that left communities with power outages, freezing temperatures, and flooding issues up and down the East Coast. On Tuesday, New York’s Gov. Kathy Hochul in an interview with Spectrum News warned people to “please stay home” during such severe weather.
The weather also wasn’t done yet: another storm seems likely to hit the Midwest on Friday with potential blizzard conditions, The New York Times reported.
United Airlines issued a travel alert for the Midwest ahead of that weather from Jan. 12 to Jan. 13. The alert covers several major airports, including in Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois. Affected travelers who purchased their ticket by Jan. 9 can reschedule their flights without any cancellation fees or fare differences.
AccuWeather meteorologists also warned more heavy rain and thunderstorms were coming for the South and the East Coast over the weekend.
«Yet another round of heavy rain can impact portions of the mid-Atlantic and New England late Friday into Saturday,» AccuWeather Meteorologist Elizabeth Danco said. «Given how many rounds of rain, as well as snowmelt this region has experienced recently, it will not take as much rain to raise concerns of flooding.»
