According to flight tracking website FlightAware, more than 1,350 flights in or out of the United States had already been canceled as of 8:20 AM ET Sunday. And the delay of flights still able to take off is just over 1,280. Christmas Day is traditionally a light day for passenger flights.
While the sun was rising on the East Coast, it was one airport in the south — Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL), the world’s busiest for passengers — leading the pack in cancellations and delays. The rest of the top five were in traditionally cold climates:
• John F. Kennedy International (JFK) in New York
• Nearby Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey
• Boston Logan International (BOS)
• Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County (ETW)

The arrival of the big storm was untimely for travelers who began pushing Christmas week flying numbers back to pre-pandemic levels.
According to FlightAware, on Christmas Eve, a total of 3,487 flights were canceled. Friday was the worst day with 5,934 cancellations, while Thursday saw nearly 2,700 cancellations.
This megablast of wintry weather across the eastern two-thirds of the country is forecast to gradually moderate through Monday. As of 8:20 a.m. ET, there were only 81 cancellations for Monday.
