Flight Delays at Major Airports Following Midwest Storm
Alongside widespread outages, more than 1,000 flights experienced delays at several key U.S. airports. Chicago O’Hare International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport were among the hubs affected. The weather disturbance contributed to disruptions in air travel schedules, causing inconvenience to many passengers. Travelers at these airports should anticipate ongoing delays
