Airlines cancel more US flights
Thousands more transatlantic and domestic flights have been cancelled for tomorrow (Tuesday) due to the imminent arrival of a super-storm on the east coast of the US.
As the number of cancellations today reached nearly 7,500, airlines began confirming that schedules would be slashed for another day.
Already, nearly 2,000 flights have been cancelled for Tuesday and the number is expected to rise.
British Airways confirmed that it will cancel 11 return flights, including flights to New York JFK, Newark, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. All flights to and from Boston are planned to operate as normal.
"We are doing all we can to help customers whose flights have been cancelled and will look to use larger aircraft on some routes when the full flying schedule resumes to help get customers to their correct destination as quickly as we can," it said.
The New York Port Authority, which operates airports in New York and New Jersey, said it will have a full complement of staff at all of its transportation facilities to ensure that the hundreds of thousands of customers who use them each day can be accommodated during this severe weather event.
"In addition to closely monitoring changing conditions and conducting regular briefings internally, the agency is coordinating with the governor’s offices in New York and New Jersey, the New York City mayor’s office, other external stakeholders and the Federal Aviation Administration, which controls air traffic," it said.
