New records are being broken as millions of Americans travel for the July 4th holiday weekend. However, travelers still face delays and cancellations. “The entire process of traveling now is so much more complicated,” said Wyn Jones, a Cincinnati resident traveling back from London. Flights have been delayed and have gotten much more complicated during the summer travel season.
On Friday, 464 U.S. flights were canceled, and more than 6,600 were delayed. According to the flight tracker FlightAware, this accounts for about 28.8% of scheduled flights. The Transportation Security Administration TSA screened approximately 2,490,490 passengers at security checkpoints on Friday. This was the most since Feb. 11, 2020, when more than 2.5 million passengers were screened.
About 930 flights related to the U.S. were delayed on Sunday, and more than 200 were canceled, according to FlightAware. Among the airports, New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport had the most delays and cancellations. Sunday’s delays and cancellations preceded Saturday’s 5,893 and 655 cancellations.
The July Fourth flight cancellations and delays follow those of Juneteenth and Father’s Day, the busiest air travel days of the year before Friday. They had a total of 3300 cancellations during the week.
