US flights returning to normal after another holiday weekend packed with cancellations
CNN
Flights at US airports appeared to be returning to normal on Monday after another difficult holiday weekend for passengers.
Tracking service FlightAware showed about 2,000 flights to, from, or within the United States canceled between Thursday and Sunday, or 2% of scheduled flights. There was a peak of 657 flights canceled on Saturday.
Bad weather played a role once again, but staff shortages throughout the airline industry also fed into the problem. Airlines don't have the staffing, especially among pilots, to adjust when bad weather causes delays.
