To make matters even more challenging for Christmas travelers, there seems to be no word on when these cancellations will clear out. So far, however, flight cancellations have a forecast of lasting throughout the weekend. Understandably, travelers are not at all pleased.
2021 disruptions with air travel
Unfortunately, this Christmas season is not the first time that issues with air travel have arisen this year. Months ago, multiple airlines (notably Southwest and American Airlines) wound up cancelling their flights.
These airlines insisted climate issues as the culprit behind cancellations; however, other people said the real reason boiled down to uprisings amongst airline workers against coronavirus vaccine mandates.
To prevent future disruptions with air travel heading into 2022, some airlines are calling for a shorting of the time individuals must be in quarantine following a positive COVID test or exposure to the virus.
With New Year’s on the horizon, many Americans are apprehensive about whether these flights will face cancellations. Suffice it to say, 2021 hasn’t been the smoothest of years for the air travel industry.
