US: Nor'easter: 3,000+ flight cancellations (and counting)
Another nor’easter, another headache for air travellers. Airline cancellations were piling up again Wednesday and Thursday as a strong coastal storm snarled flights in the Northeast for the second time in a week. More than 2,725 flights had been grounded for Wednesday and another 350 for Thursday as of 4:55 pm ET Wednesday. Most of those cancellations were made pre-emptively Tuesday as airlines looked to get ahead of the developing storm. Wednesday, the 3 big New York City airports were the hardest hit. More than 700 flights – 353 departures and 360 arrivals – had been canceled at Newark Liberty as of 4:55 pm. That represented more than half of all flights there Wednesday. Similar problems were reported at JFK and LaGuardia. <br/>
