Delta Air Lines Inc. said it expects to suspend operations at New York’s LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International airports as well as Boston Logan International Airport into Tuesday as a major blizzard heads for the region.
“The storm is also creating broader disruptions along the East Coast, and customers may experience additional schedule adjustments as the system moves through the region,” Delta said in a statement Sunday.
More than 8,500 flights have been canceled through Tuesday, according to tracking site FlightAware. A long stretch of the US Northeast is expected to get between 15 and 20 inches (38 to 50 centimeters) of snow as the storm intensifies Sunday into Monday, also bringing high winds.
Delta urged affected customers to reschedule their flights to before or after the storm, saying it’s offering a fare-difference waiver from Wednesday through Saturday.
