United CEO blames FAA for flight disruptions.
TL;DR Summary
United Airlines has canceled almost 400 flights, or about 14% of its daily schedule, with 533 more flights delayed. Newark Liberty International Airport had the highest cancellation rate of any airport in the country on Tuesday, with 159 departures and 204 arrivals already canceled by the early afternoon.
