Continued Flight Chaos: Delays and Cancellations Plague Major US Airports

Flight cancellations and delays continue for the fifth consecutive day at Newark Liberty International Airport, causing travel disruptions ahead of the busy Fourth of July weekend. Stormy weather conditions have been the main cause, and airlines are still working to recover. AAA predicts a record-breaking number of travelers, with 4.2 million people expected to fly and 43 million people driving nationally. Gas prices being down and improved road conditions contribute to the high volume of drivers. The airport has seen over 65 cancellations and numerous delays, leading to long lines and rebooking challenges for passengers. Smoke and haze from Canada may further impact flights, potentially causing more cancellations.
