United resumes flights at Newark, NJ airport after flooding

United on Thursday afternoon resumed operations at Newark Liberty International airport in New Jersey after disruptions caused by flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Ida. The impact of the storm was still being felt in the northeastern United States as Amtrak and other rail services were canceled. United, the largest carrier at the New York area airport, had canceled more than 200 flights nationwide, according to Flightaware, an aviation website. American Airlines has also experienced delays and cancellations at the Newark airport, while Delta said it has seen roughly 80 cancellations across New York City area airports. Flooding killed at least 21 people, swept away cars and submerged New York City subway lines after torrential rains.<br/>
