More than 18,000 flights were canceled or delayed in the USA over Christmas as a result of airline staff infected with Omicron and bad weather conditions. A further 5,000 flights were canceled in the USA between Friday 7th January and Sunday 9th January, according to FlightAware.Hundreds of thousands of passengers were left stranded at airports for an average of 4 hours hoping to get an on alternative flight. In a statement last week, Chief Customer Experience Officer of Delta, Allison Ausband, said “It has been one of the most difficult operational environments we’ve ever faced”. As Omicron and other potential variants spread, this may continue to happen as we head into 2022.
