US: Wednesday storm: 1,175 flights cancelled, 4,700 delayed
Air travellers faced the prospect of delays and cancellations Wednesday as a sprawling storm system brought ice, snow and rain to the Northeast and Ohio Valley. Most big carriers flying to the region had waived rebooking fees. Nationwide, more than 1,175 flights had been canceled and another 4,700 delayed as of 5:10 pm ET. Of those cancellations, nearly 800 were pre-emptively announced Tuesday as airlines looked to get ahead of the storm. Still, Wednesday's tally of canceled flights has crept up since morning and further disruptions remained possible as winter weather spreads across busy airports. Most of Wednesday's US cancellations were clustered at 4 busy Northeastern airports, with Boston and Newark topping the list with more 250 cancellations each. <br/>
