Airlines canceled tens of thousands of U.S. flights this weekend as a massive winter storm swept across the country, bringing heavy snow, ice and sleet, followed by bitter cold.
More than 4,000 flights on Saturday were canceled, according to flight tracker FlightAware. Many of Saturday’s cancellations were in and out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, with nearly 1,500 scrubbed flights, and at Dallas Love Field, with 190 cancellations, the majority of the schedule at each airport.
More than 10,000 flights were canceled on Sunday, with nearly 6,000 journeys delayed.
U.S. President Donald Trump said late on Saturday that he has approved emergency declarations for the “Historic Winter Storms” heading to South Carolina and Virginia.
