Over 1,059 flights were delayed while 58 were cancelled on Thursday in the US, NJ.com reported citing FlightAware data. The disruption was attributed primarily to adverse weather conditions, including strong winds in Boston and the New York metropolitan area, thunderstorms in Phoenix, and rain in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas. Low clouds in Seattle also posed challenges for flight operations.
Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identified several weather-related issues affecting airports across the country. Strong winds may cause delays in Boston (BOS) and the New York tri-state area, including John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), FAA said.
