At least 760 more flights were canceled across the US on Monday morning as the Holiday travel chaos sparked by COVID-driven shortages and delays continued.
As of 8 a.m., 760 flights to, from or within the US had been axed and another 930 were delayed across the country, FlightAware data showed.
It added to the staggering 2,300 US flights that were canceled over the Holiday weekend as some airlines struggled to replace crew members struck down by Omicron variant.
Huge lines snaked through airport terminals across the country Sunday as travelers tried to check in or get rebooked on new flights, according to videos posted on social media.
The Transportation Security Administration said it screened more than 2 million people at its checkpoints nationwide Sunday.
The agency said it expected to screen nearly 30 million people from Dec. 20 through Jan. 3.
Delta, United and JetBlue have all acknowledged that their disruptions were due in part to staffers being affected by the spread of COVID.
American Airlines said its cancellations on Saturday were down to “COVID-related sick calls.”
