Flights Cancellations Mount Ahead of Winter Storm -- WSJ

Dow Jones00:25

By Jacob Passy

Airlines have begun canceling flights-in many cases proactively-ahead of the punishing winter storm anticipated this weekend.

As of Friday morning, more than 450 flights in or out of U.S. airports were canceled, according to flight-data provider FlightAware. Another 800-plus flights were delayed.

That's just a hint of what's to come. American Airlines has already canceled more than 500 of its own flights on Saturday, accounting for nearly a fifth of its scheduled itineraries that day. Regional carriers Envoy Air and PSA Airlines, which operate American-branded flights, have canceled nearly 400 flights as well.

"American Airlines is proactively standing up its operation to support customers and protect the reliability of our network," the airline said in a statement. "We're repositioning aircraft, aligning crew resources and reinforcing staffing at key airports while coordinating with our partners to help minimize disruption and set the stage for a fast, safe recovery once conditions improve."

Southwest Airlines, meanwhile, has scrapped more than 200 flights for Saturday, while regional carrier SkyWest has canceled more than 100. Geographically, the Dallas area is so far the most affected, with more than 600 flights canceled across its two major airports.

Most U.S. carriers issued travel waivers in advance of the storm, which allow travelers to rebook without incurring standard fees.
