A major storm sweeping across the United States has caused significant disruptions for airlines, with several airports experiencing cancellations and delays. The storm has targeted key hubs, affecting numerous flights for multiple airlines. Delta recently lifted its ground stop request for flights heading to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). However, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warns that more ground stops may be implemented throughout the day at various airports.

FlightAware, a flight tracking service, reports that as of 11:00 AM, a total of 1,100 cancellations and 80 delays have been recorded across the country. The most affected airports include LaGuardia, where approximately 43% of all flights have been canceled, Newark with roughly 25%, and Boston Logan with another 25%. The FAA emphasizes that this is just the beginning of the storm's impact and anticipates possible ground stops at airports such as Boston, Newark, LaGuardia, JFK, Philadelphia, Dulles, DCA, and BWI.
