KIRO 7 News StaffSEATAC, Wash. — Flight delays are stacking up before the holiday weekend. Nationwide, thousands of flights were canceled because of bad weather.
At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, traffic was heavy and lines were long Wednesday morning as we heard from stressed-out travelers who are trying to rebook their flights. On Tuesday night, the Federal Aviation Administration put temporary ground stops in place because of severe thunderstorms in the New York area.. Five of the canceled flights were with United Airlines. Nationwide, United has 335 flights canceled.
United has been having a rough week, including a day where it had 26% of its flights canceled and another 41% delayed.In an internal memo obtained by CBS News, United CEO Scott Kirby says the FAA failed airlines and travelers.“So, this morning I was supposed to take a trip out to Norfolk, Virginia to spend some time with my son before his trip to Africa. When I got here at around 4 a.m., I found out that all the flights had been canceled.
Meanwhile, some people have been waiting at the airport for hours. One family told us they arrived at SEA at 9 p.m. Tuesday.©2023 Cox Media Group
