Later awful climate and a surge in Covid cases twisted air travel over the Christmas holiday weekend, flight cancellations in the large numbers have pushed into the week paving the way to New Year’s Day.

Globally, airlines canceled in excess of 6,000 flights over the Christmas weekend from Friday through Sunday, as indicated reporter. That brings the total tally of canceled flights up to around 12,000 since Christmas Eve.

Aircrafts highlighted terrible winter weather and staffing shortages, as the generally spreading omicron variant of the Covid either infects laborers or crimps their ability to work due to isolating later an exposure. The year’s end period around Christmas and New Year’s Day is one of the most active travel seasons.

United canceled 129 of its flights Tuesday, around 6% of its complete scheduled, as indicated by FlightAware.

“The nationwide spike in omicron cases has had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation,” a United spokeswoman said Monday. “As a result, we’ve unfortunately had to cancel some flights and are notifying impacted customers in advance of them coming to the airport. We’re sorry for the disruption and are working hard to rebook as many people as possible and get them on their way during the holidays.”

Travel in general became a question mark as families reconsidered their holiday gathering plans in the midst of the ascent in omicron cases, and the people who stayed with their travel plans over the weekend probably attempted to get to their destinations. Sunday saw more than 189,000 new COVID-19 cases alone in the US, as per The New York Times Covid tracker.
