A total of 1,243 flights were cancelled and 514 flights were
delayed as of 7.14 a.m. ET, according to flight-tracking website
FlightAware.
"We expect some operational challenges due to the weather in the
Midwest today and potentially tomorrow due to the winter weather
in the region," Delta Air Lines said.
The Federal Aviation Administration had on Thursday on Thursday
warned that clouds, snow and windforce could delay flights at
certain airports.
United Airlines Holdings led the list of cancellations with 238
flights followed by 215 flights by Southwest Airlines.
It has also canceled some flights through Saturday as it awaits
regulatory approvals to resume operating Boeing's 737 MAX 9 jets
in the country.
The FAA had on Thursday launched a formal investigation on 737
MAX 9 after a cabin panel blew off an Alaska Airlines flight
last week in mid-air, forcing an emergency landing.
