Airlines cancel many flights worldwide

Due to the rapid spread of the omikron variant, aviation is struggling with many sick people. As a result, many airlines are temporarily short of pilots and cabin crew. That is why flights have to be cancelled.

A spokeswoman for KLM says that eight return flights could not take place on Friday due to illness among cabin crew. This concerns flights to New York, London Heathrow and other European destinations. But to date, KLM has not had to cancel flights on a large scale, the spokeswoman emphasizes.

Data from FlightAware.com also shows that nearly 5,000 flights were delayed worldwide on Friday. It’s not just because of the coronavirus. Wintery weather is particularly bad for American aviation. Winter storms and heavy rainfall are already forecast in parts of the United States for the coming weekend. They can further confuse the flight schedules.
