Airlines in the United States have cancelled or ‌delayed thousands of flights on Friday, according to flight tracking website ‍FlightAware, due to winter storm Devin during peak holiday travel.
A total of 1,382 flights were cancelled and 4,685 delayed on Friday afternoon, the website said.
The National Weather Service (NWS) predicted snowfall across the upper Great Lakes region through the day, with the storm’s focus moving towards the northeast.
“Road conditions will be treacherous for those travelling back from the holiday,” it warned.
It also flagged the slight risk of flash ‌flooding across southern California, along with strong winds and thunderstorms near the coast.
New York Mayor Eric Adams said a winter storm warning was in effect and that city crews were deployed to plough roads.
New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport and LaGuardia Airport have put out posts on social media, warning travellers of potential delays or cancellations.

More than half of the flight cancellations and delays took place at ‌these three ⁠airports, according to FlightAware.
Airports in New York and Chicago were near the top of FlightAware’s rankings on its “Misery Map”, which tracks the spread of flight delays and cancellations.
New York area airports accounted for 785 flight cancellations, according to the website.
JetBlue Airways has cancelled 225 flights, the most among the carriers, closely followed by Delta Air Lines cancelling 212 flights.
Republic Airways cancelled 157 flights, while 146 were cancelled by American Airlines and 97 by United Airlines.
Representatives from ‌American Airlines, United Airlines and JetBlue told Reuters the carriers have waived change fees for rebooking for travellers whose plans may be affected.
“Due ‌to winter storm Devin, JetBlue has cancelled approximately 350 flights today and tomorrow, primarily in the Northeast where JetBlue has a large operation,” the JetBlue spokesperson said.
Delta Air Lines and Republic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
