US Storm: 4,300+ flights already axed as cancellations stretch into Tuesday
It’s been a rough holiday weekend for air travel. Airlines have canceled more than 4,535 flights in the US since Friday, with disruptions now extending into Tuesday. The culprit has been a potent winter storm that’s brought heavy snow, rain and strong winds to airports from the Great Plains and Midwest into the Northeast and New England. Sunday, more than 1,630 flights had been canceled nationwide and another 3,000 delayed as of 6 pm. By far the hardest-hit airport Sunday was Boston, where about 540 combined arrivals and cancellations had been canceled. The majority of those cancellations also had been made pre-emptively by Saturday. Looking ahead to Monday, more than 110 flights had already been canceled. <br/>
