Thousands of flights have been canceled as of Wednesday, a development that is reflective of flight troubles that people could experience as the Fourth of July weekend approaches.
More than 1,800 flights have been canceled as of Wednesday morning, according to FlightAware. Only 460 cancellations involved flights within, into, or out of the United States. There has also been an estimated 9,340 delays on Wednesday, with more than 660 of them occurring in the U.S. These numbers are expected to escalate in the next few days.
Calio jabbed at the Federal Aviation Administration for problems with the air traffic control system, saying problems originating there"were a factor in at least one-third of recent cancellations." Mark Meader, senior vice president of industry affairs and education at the American Society of Travel Advisors, said disruptions over the past few weekend cycles"tell us that we're far from prepared to meet the surge in demand."
