BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – U.S. airlines are struggling with a flood of COVID-related cancellations yet again Monday as the omicron variant causes staffing shortages – and it’s not clear the issues will completely clear up after the holiday travel season.
According to FlightAware, there were more than 1,100 flights canceled in the United States as of just before 3 p.m. Monday. The airline hit the hardest was SkyWest, which runs regional flights for Delta, United and American Airlines, among others.
The FBI is investigating what caused so many people in the airline industry to catch COVID, by focusing on who would benefit the most by the staffing shortages, and currently they are interrogating the CEO of Greyhound.
