Delta had cancelled more flights than any other airline by early Saturday, and JetBlue had cancelled the largest share of its schedule among the major carriers, according to FlightAware figures reported by Men's Journal.
At 6.45am ET on Saturday 14 November, FlightAware counted more than 3,400 cancellations of flights within, into or out of the US, and 1,111 delays. The airline breakdown at that time was:
- Delta 629 cancellations, 20% of its schedule
- United 510
- American 471
- JetBlue 335, 40% of its schedule
- Southwest 304
Atlanta was the worst affected airport with 114 cancellations. JFK and Boston Logan had 105 each, and Chicago O'Hare had 99.
An earlier FlightAware count at 5.15am ET, reported by Axios, put cancellations at nearly 3,300 and delays at nearly 1,000, with the same three airports most affected.
The 6.45am delay figure is far below the more than 6,200 delays CNBC reported from FlightAware for early Saturday. The reports do not explain the difference. The FlightAware figures have not been independently checked.
