More than 2,000 flights have been canceled across the U.S. on Monday as airlines catch up from a rough weekend, winter weather conditions slam parts of the country and the Federal Aviation Administration continues to limit capacity at 40 major U.S. airports, with President Donald Trump threatening air traffic controllers to “get back to work, NOW!!!”
In addition to the 2,100 flights canceled on Monday, there were also 6,432 delays for flights within, into or out of the United States, according to airline traffic tracker FlightAware. The airports seeing the most cancellations on Monday include Chicago O’Hare International Airport with 454, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport with 227 and LaGuardia International Airport with 144. Trump also claimed he was recommending a $10,000 bonus to air traffic controllers who did not take any time off during the government shutdown, though he did not explain specifics on how that would be done. ATC Union President Nick Daniels responded to Trump’s post during a press conference, saying controllers deserve to be paid and the union will work through the issues with the administration.
