Passengers travelling between Antigua and New York are being urged to check with their airlines after severe winter weather in the United States forced flight cancellations on Monday.
The Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority (ABAA) issued an advisory warning of likely disruptions due to blizzard conditions and severe winter storm warnings affecting the New York area.
The Authority confirmed that JetBlue flight 745, which was scheduled to arrive at the VC Bird International Airport at 2:38 p.m., has been cancelled. American Airlines flight 1637, due to arrive at 1:02 p.m., has also been called off as a result of the adverse weather conditions.
The advisory cautioned that additional delays or cancellations could follow depending on how the storm system develops. Travellers heading to or from New York are strongly advised to contact their respective airlines directly for the most up-to-date information regarding flight status and rebooking options.
The Airport Authority said it will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide further updates as necessary. Officials also expressed regret for any inconvenience caused and thanked passengers for their patience and understanding.
Wow jah is still iin control. Tell Trump to control the weather if he so pleases.
New York winters don’t play around. Not surprised at all.
I really feel for passengers who may have been heading to New York for medical appointments, business meetings, or family emergencies. Weather disruptions are unavoidable, but they can seriously impact people’s lives in ways we don’t always see. I hope the airlines are proactive in offering flexible rebooking and not charging extra fees during this situation.
This is frustrating, especially for people with connecting flights or important appointments.
I just hope people stay patient. The airline staff on the ground didn’t cause the storm. Everyone is dealing with the same weather system, and sometimes delays are simply unavoidable.
better to be safe than sorry. waiting it out patiently
