Cancellation of flights on holiday weekends was initiated by United Airlines and Delta Air Lines in US flight companies, which jointly reduced about 280 flights on Friday alone, citing staff shortages amid an increase in corona infections. In addition, Lufthansa, JetBlue, Alaska Airlines and many other short staff carriers also had to cancel flights at peak travel time. People travel in big statistics during Christmas and New Year.
