Airlines are still working to recover from schedule disruptions from Friday’s cyber shutdown.
In part, the delays can be attributed to the ongoing recovery of flight schedules after Friday’s cyber shutdown and weather in other parts of the country. In particular, the FAA says flights to Washington, D.C.; Newark, New Jersey; Houston, Texas; New York City; and Miami, Florida were experiencing delays out of Charlotte because of weather in those destination cities.
Such delays made Charlotte among the top ten airports worldwide experiencing problems on Monday.
An estimated 174 flights destined for Charlotte were delayed, according to FlightAware. That equals about 19% of total flights inbound to Charlotte.
About 27 flights originally scheduled for Charlotte had been canceled, according to FlightAware. That equaled about 3% of the day’s inbound flights.
Passengers going outbound from Charlotte were having equal trouble.
FlightAware said 197, or about 22%, of outbound flights were delayed. At least 13 flights, or about 1% of the day’s schedule, had been canceled outbound.
While most flights at Charlotte Douglas International Airport are operated by American Airlines, Delta had the greatest number of delays and cancelations on Monday, according to FlightAware. At 3 p.m., Delta had experienced 1285 delays, or the equivalent of about 34% of their flight schedule, and 816 cancelations, about 21% of their flight schedule, according to FlightAware. By contrast, American Airlines had 923 delays, or about 25% of their schedule, and 49 cancelations, about 1% of their schedule.
