Jan 25 (Reuters) – Delta Air lines said on Sunday it is operating a reduced flight schedule as winter weather continues to affect several U.S. regions, while closely monitoring conditions in the Northeast and at its Atlanta hub.
Due to proactive schedule adjustments, Delta said the current scheduled flying is operating as planned.
The winter storm is disrupting U.S. air travel, prompting airlines to cancel flights, warn of delays, and issue travel waivers as ice, snow, and strong winds sweep across major hubs and regional airports in the South, East, and central parts of the U.S.
Delta on Saturday made additional flight cancellations for Atlanta and along the U.S. East Coast, including at its hubs in Boston and New York due to winter storm Fern.
The National Weather Service warned that a mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow could make travel hazardous and cause power outages and tree damage across the Southeast, with heavier snowfall expected farther north as the storm moves up the country.
