About 5,000 flights were canceled while more than 3,000 were delayed due to the winter storm in the US. More than 60 percent of the canceled flights were from Southwest Airlines, which reached 2,500 flights that were delayed. Because of this many passengers are better off staying at the airports.
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) is also concerned because of the number of flights that have been canceled and they are looking to see if the airline companies will be held accountable.
US President Joe Biden is also taking steps to ensure that airline companies are held accountable. As many as 52 people died due to the winter storm in the entire US. Buffalo, New York was covered in over 50 inches of ice.
