Photos Show How Miserable The Flight Delays Have Become In The US

Flight cancellations this summer, many caused by extreme weather, continue to wreak havoc at airports in the US and beyond, with 11,337 delays and 2,077 cancellations reported so far. And it’s unlikely to get better anytime soon.

The hardest hitting airports on Monday, which saw the most cancellations, were Newark Liberty International, Dallas–Fort Worth International, and LaGuardia, according to FlightAware. Delays and cancellations at the airport were attributed to storms and staffing issues.

National Weather Service said Dallas–Fort Worth Airport experienced a record rainfall between Sunday and Monday with 9.19 inches of rain, making it the second wettest 24-hour period.

Travelers at Newark Liberty International reported stuck for nearly nine hours on the tarmac, in some cases they were asked to get off the plane and later come back, only to be told that the flight was canceled because the crew had clocked out.
