During the Labor Day holiday in the United States, which runs until the 5th, the airline turmoil continues in the United States.<\/p>\n
According to flight tracking site FlightAware on the 4th, a total of 346 flights were canceled in the United States from the 2nd to the 5th, which corresponds to the Labor Day holiday as of the evening of the previous day.<\/p>\n
The number of flights delayed for two days from the 2nd also reached 8,228.<\/p>\n
Including international flights, a total of 7,263 flights were canceled during the four days. There were 35,382 flights delayed for two days.<\/p>\n
On the morning of the 4th, 8,888 flights including international flights were delayed, and 1,985 cancellations were made.<\/p>\n
In the U.S. airline industry, which reduced air routes and cut manpower during the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic, a heap of flight cancellations continued after the return to daily life was expanded as the COVID-19 situation eased.<\/p>\n
Starting with Memorial Day (Remembrance Day, May 30), when the summer vacation season begins in earnest, traveler damage is increasing every holiday before and after major anniversaries.<\/p>\n
More than 7,000 flights were canceled during the Memorial Day holiday, and more than 1,400 flights were canceled and more than 14,000 delayed for four days over the July 4th Independence Day holiday.<\/p>\n
Airline demand has increased, but airlines are reluctant to hire manpower for fear of a future economic downturn and strikes and sabotage of pilots and airline employees whose work has skyrocketed frequently occur, making the situation even worse.<\/p>\n
As dissatisfaction has been pouring in, the politicians are also seeking relief measures.<\/p>\n
Some Democratic senators, including Elizabeth Warren, have also introduced a related bill that would require airlines to compensate customers within 30 days of sudden cancellations or other damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
