NEW YORK (77 WABC) — Transportation officials have been warning air travelers about delays and cancellations this summer — and its turning out to be true — especially here in the New York area.
FlightAware says Newark Liberty and LaGuardia airports lead the nation for most cancelations since Memorial Day weekend. Nearly 8 percent of Newark flights have been canceled, and nearly 7 and a half percent at LaGuardia.
JFK placed number nine on the top ten list of cancellations and delays.
Staff shortages and heavy summer air traffic are reportedly causing much of the problem.
