According to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), airlines have preemptively cancelled over 600 flights as snow and icy conditions disrupt operations across key airports in New York, Washington, and Boston.
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) are among the major hubs severely affected by a winter storm sweeping through the Northeast.
Further disruptions are anticipated as a second storm targets the Deep South early next week.
A second storm system is expected to impact the Deep South by Monday and Tuesday, potentially disrupting operations at airports in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and Florida.
Data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) indicates that delays and cancellations may continue into the week, with Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) bracing for icy conditions.
The DOT has reminded travelers of their rights under federal law, which mandates refunds for canceled flights, even when weather is the cause.
Passengers are encouraged to monitor their airline’s travel advisories and use mobile apps to rebook flights.
Transportation agencies and airport authorities have urged travelers to plan ahead, allow extra time, and stay informed about potential delays through official websites and social media channels.
