Air travel disruption across US
Over 3,500 flights were cancelled since the weekend as problems piled up for several airlines.
Storms in Florida, IT issues and industrial action caused chaos for fliers throughout the weekend and into Monday.
It affected Southwest Airlines, American, Spirit, JetBlue and Alaska.
Weather impacted flights at Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa and Orlando.
“Severe weather in the Southeast and multiple air traffic control delay programs have created significant impacts on the industry,” a JetBlue spokesperson said.
Southwest suffered ‘intermittent technology issues following routine overnight maintenance.’
It canceled about 1,000 flights over the weekend but said schedules are almost back to normal.
Alaska Airlines canceled and delayed dozens of flights Saturday, after pilots picketed at multiple airports over contract negotiations.
