American Airlines Cancels 50+ Flights, Disrupts U.S. Travel

Severe weather affecting certain travel corridors has resulted in American Airlines canceling in excess of 50 flights across several major U.S. airports. The active weather consisting of thunderstorms, strong winds, and low visibility has caused widespread delays and cancellations, predominantly of departures from Dallas/Fort Worth, New York, Florida, Kansas, and Georgia. All passengers are advised to monitor their flights as weather issues are expected to disrupt travel plans for the rest of the day. Due to severe weather conditions, over 50 American Airlines flights have been canceled, representing 1% of the airline’s schedule, while 344 flights, or 9%, have been delayed. The disruptions primarily affect major airports, including Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW), LaGuardia (KLGA), John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK), Orlando International (KMCO), and Kansas City International (KMCI). Thunderstorms, high winds, and poor visibility have led to unsafe travel conditions, causing cancellations and delays on routes such as Dallas/Fort Worth (KDFW) to New York, Florida, and Kansas, as well as other flights to and from Miami, Atlanta, and Greenville/Spartanburg. Travelers are urged to monitor their flight status and take advantage of rebooking options available for those affected by these disruptions.
