More than 1,000 domestic and international flights in the United States were canceled Tuesday as extreme weather pummeled the country from coast to coast.
With more than 70 flights called off, Chicago O’Hare International Airport had the most cancellations, according to FlightAware, a flight tracking website. Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington had about 45 canceled flights, followed by New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport and then New York’s LaGuardia Airport, both at just more than 40.
The Federal Aviation Administration briefly issued a ground stop at O’Hare Tuesday afternoon, citing excessive snow and ice.
