Weather Drives Widespread Disruption
The main cause of the disruption was severe weather across large parts of the eastern United States.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms linked to a cold front affected flight operations, while low ceilings and IFR conditions created further problems, especially along the busy Washington-Newark-Boston travel corridor.
These conditions slowed arrivals and departures, forcing airlines to adjust schedules and cancel flights at several major airports.
LaGuardia Records Highest Cancellations
LaGuardia Airport in New York reported 264 delays and 102 cancellations, making it the airport with the highest cancellation count.
The airport was heavily affected by poor weather in the Northeast. Endeavor Air, Republic and American Airlines were among the carriers facing major schedule disruption at LaGuardia.

Dallas-Fort Worth Leads For Delays
Dallas-Fort Worth recorded the highest number of delays, with 589 delayed flights and 59 cancellations.
As one of the busiest travel hubs in the country, disruption at Dallas-Fort Worth can quickly affect connecting passengers and airline networks across the United States.
