Hundreds of flights canceled for US National Day weekend | Abroad

On Saturday afternoon, according to flightaware.com, nearly 600 flights had already been canceled, while 2,100 were delayed. Friday was even worse with 3,060 canceled and nearly 8,000 delayed flights.

The basis is that the airlines employ 15 percent less staff than before the start of the corona pandemic. This makes it difficult for them to accommodate the massive return of passengers on their planes.

Additional factors are, according to those responsible for the sector, climatic affairs or corona issues.

Transport Minister Pete Buttigieg recalled on Twitter on Saturday that passengers are entitled to a refund in the event of a cancellation.
