Ontario: Airlines may have thought their pandemic troubles were behind them in the fall as a coronavirus wave subsided and travelers increasingly took to the skies. But a new virus surge and winter storms have left the carriers and their passengers in a holiday mess.
More than 1,500 flights were canceled and another 2,700 delayed on New Year’s Eve, with the pandemic and severe weather contributing to the chaos. An expert tells NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard that passengers should expect the disruptions to continue.
