Winter Storm Grounding 9,000+ US Flights: A Holiday Travel Nightmare
Over 9,000 flights were disrupted across the US due to a severe winter storm. Major airlines like Delta and JetBlue are facing massive cancellations, impacting holiday travel and regional logistics.
Your holiday travel plans just hit a wall. A massive winter storm is tearing through the US Northeast, grounding over 9,000 flights in a single day. According to FlightAware, as of Friday night, 1,600 flights across the US were cancelled and another 7,400 were delayed as the peak holiday season turned into a logistical scramble.
Airlines Scramble as Cancellations Mount
The major New York hubs—JFK, Newark Liberty, and LaGuardia—are at the heart of the chaos. Carriers are feeling the heat, with Delta Air Lines scrapping 241 flights and JetBlue cancelling 229. Regional player Republic Airways and low-cost giant Southwest also cut hundreds of scheduled trips.
The National Weather Service issued a warning expecting up to 9 inches (23cm) of snow in New York. Heavy snowfall during the night has made runways hazardous, forcing airports in Boston, Chicago, and even Toronto to deal with the ripple effects of the storm.
State Officials Issue Emergency Warnings
Local leadership isn't taking any chances. New York Governor Kathy Hochul advised residents to avoid unnecessary travel, while Mayor Eric Adams urged commuters to head home early or use public transport. Snowplows have been deployed across the city, ready to clear streets once the accumulation hits the critical two-inch mark.
