More than 700 flights within, into and out of the U.S. were canceled Tuesday following thousands of cancelations amid the busy holiday travel period.
NEW YORK -- Thousands of flights have been canceled over the past several days as COVID cases surge across the country.
So far Tuesday, 141 were canceled by SkyWest, 117 by United, 86 by Delta and 75 by JetBlue. Chicago O'Hare International Airport reported 93 origin and destination flight cancelations Tuesday, and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport reported 93. "We've got to make sure employees don't feel pressured to come to work when they've been exposed to COVID or they think they may have the symptoms," said Captain Dennis Tajer, a spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association.
"I definitely think that should help," Raymond James analyst Savanthi Syth said of the CDC's new guidance -- especially if bad weather subsides.
