A spokesman for Bradley International Airport, in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, said Sunday there were two delays and 49 cancellations.
Delta’s Minneapolis hub is one of the airline’s largest de-icing operations, the airline says in a post on its website.
According to online flight tracker FlightAware, airline companies cancelled 213 flights scheduled to fly into or out of O’Hare as of Saturday night, and almost 100 more flights were delayed, some of them for hours.
After cancelling almost 7,000 weekend flights, airlines have started to cut Monday service as the ripple effects of driving snow and ice that brought many East Coast airports to a standstill drifted into the next work week. Those tallies came largely from canceled flights that been either canceled or knocked off schedule by the weather in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Those cancelations center on Philadelphia, Washington and NY, with airlines essentially shutting down all flights into those cities.
Several passengers were rerouted on different flights arriving in Manchester.
United will not operate Saturday and Sunday service at Dulles and other Washington metro area airports and expects to gradually resume service on Monday.
Highlighting the scope of the storm’s disruption, almost 50 flights – or about 10% of the day’s schedule – had been grounded in the Mexico’s tropical beach destination of Cancun, according to FlightAware’s count.
Airlines had already canceled 600 flights before midnight Saturday.
