Washington, Dec 24 (UNI/Sputnik) American and Australian carriers have canceled more than 200 flights ahead of the Christmas Eve as many airlines remained grounded by understaffing caused by the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, media reported on Friday.
Late on Thursday, American United Airlines canceled 112 flights scheduled for Christmas Eve and Delta Airlines canceled about 90 flights citing a rapid spread of Omicron and inclement weather conditions.
"The nationwide spike in omicron cases this week has had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation.
