US EditionFlight cancellations and delays continue after US storms dump snow in the Midwest
Over 1,000 U.S. flights were canceled due to severe winter storms and TSA staffing shortages from a DHS shutdown affecting airport security, FlightAware reported.
- On Tuesday, carriers canceled more than 1,000 U.S. flights and delayed about 4,200 others, following a chaotic Monday that saw more than 4,800 cancellations triggered by powerful storms dumping snow across the Midwest and eastern U.S.
- The storm system moved toward the East Coast with winds approaching 50 mph, compounding existing travel pressures as airports managed spring break travelers and fans heading to March Madness tournaments.
- A partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security has thinned security checkpoint staffing, with more than 300 Transportation Security Administration agents quitting since the shutdown began and leaving workers temporarily without pay.
- Travelers at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta faced significantly longer waits on Monday, arriving hours early to compensate. "They work hard, and for TSA people not to get paid, that's silly," traveler Mel Stewart said.
- Democrats in Congress remain deadlocked on Department of Homeland Security funding, insisting on new immigration operation restrictions following fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this year. Once government reopens, employees will wait for back pay.
