The coronavirus surge continued to disrupt U.S. air travel as airlines canceled hundreds of flights Thursday, while the Federal Aviation Administration warned of possible delays due to the agency’s own Covid-related staffing challenges.
Nearly 1,200 flights in the U.S. had been scrubbed by midday, according to aviation data tracker FlightAware, with about half as many already canceled for Friday. The tally included domestic flights and those into and out of the U.S.
