American Airlines has recorded the highest number of cancellations, followed by other carriers adjusting schedules due to ice accumulation on runways and aircraft.
Airports in the Northeast, including Newark and Philadelphia, have seen hundreds of flights cancelled on Sunday 25 January, with over 700 affected at Newark alone. Forecasts indicate that ice and freezing conditions continue to impact operations in regions from the Midwest to the East Coast, leading to ground stops and further cancellations expected through the day.
Many airlines have issued waivers for rebooking without fees to accommodate passengers.
The storm has affected operations at major hubs and regional airports, with preliminary data pointing to additional delays and cancellations into Monday. Travellers planning flights to or from the United States during this period face ongoing uncertainty as the weather system moves eastward.
