Snow in Chicago, one of the busiest US aviation hubs, is compounding the travel chaos across American airports Monday as government-mandated restrictions on flights enter a fourth day.
As of 7:15 a.m. New York time, the number of cancellations from US airports stood at 1,432 flights, according to data compiled by aviation analytics firm Cirium. That’s about 5.5% of the day’s 25,733 scheduled flights, and the number is “growing,” the company said.
Chicago O’Hare International Airport, LaGuardia Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport saw the highest number of cancellations with at least 8% of the scheduled total.
