The FAA has implemented ground delay programs at multiple Northeast U.S. airports, including D.C., Newark, JFK, LaGuardia, Boston, and Philadelphia, due to a Nor'easter causing poor weather conditions such as rain, low ceilings, and gusty winds, leading to delays and managed air traffic flow until conditions improve.
Severe weather has caused a growing number of flight disruptions, with over 600 cancellations and nearly 3,500 delays reported on Tuesday. New York-area airports, including LaGuardia, Newark, and JFK, have been significantly impacted, with four in 10 flights departing LaGuardia and Newark experiencing delays or cancellations. The Federal Aviation Administration reported average delays of four hours for flights to JFK, while flights to Newark and LaGuardia were experiencing delays longer than three hours. Storms have also affected flights at Philadelphia and Boston airports, leading to a ground stop at these airports as well. The FAA may also need to hold or slow flights in Florida due to storms.
The Federal Aviation Administration has slowed flights to and from the New York City area and Philadelphia due to reduced visibility caused by wildfire smoke from Canada. All flights to LaGuardia Airport in New York have been paused, while departures have been slowed. Flights to nearby Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey have also been slowed. People intending to fly Wednesday have been advised to check with their airlines to determine flight statuses. Both New York and New Jersey issued air quality health advisories for Wednesday.
