FlightAware estimates that another 2,134 in the world could add this Sunday to the total number of flights canceled by the contagious variant of the coronavirus, omicron, with the end of the Christmas holidays, reports Afp.

FlightAware estimates that 1,175 flights will be canceled today in the United States out of the 2,134 worldwide that could be canceled today, also due to bad weather in various regions of the United States.

The most affected US airline was Skywest, which had to cancel 23% of its flight plan, according to the same sources.

Numerous pilots and staff members contracted COVID-19 or were in close contact with infected people, forcing companies to cancel flights due to lack of staff.

The data on Saturday, with 4,617 cancellations worldwide, of which 2,660 flights in the United States were scheduled flights in the United States, also show remarkable figures for flight delays.

A total of 9,432 flights were delayed across the globe, of which 4,798 were internal flights in the US.
