A wave of flight disruptions has stranded thousands of passengers across the United States, as severe weather—including intense storms and heavy rainfall—forces widespread cancellations and delays at major airports.
As of Tuesday morning, over 130 flights have been canceled and more than 2,580 delayed, impacting key travel hubs such as Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles International, and San Francisco International. Airlines affected include American, Delta, United, Air Canada, and regional carrier SkyWest, among others.
Meteorologists report that fast-moving storm systems are sweeping across the western and southern regions, triggering flash flood warnings and complicating air traffic control operations. The Federal Aviation Administration has issued ground delays and rerouting advisories to mitigate congestion and ensure safety.
Travelers are advised to check with airlines for real-time updates and anticipate extended wait times. With weather systems expected to persist into the evening, further disruptions remain likely, underscoring the vulnerability of air travel to climate volatility.
