旅游业形势还是很严重的。

大量的航班取消了，而且是在节日期间。新冠病毒的影响太大。

The holiday season travel stress has only escalated amid the rise of the omicron variant. Several airlines are reporting staff shortages from the spread of the coronavirus, leaving passengers with delayed or canceled flights.

According to the flight tracker Flight Aware, 880 flights within, into or out of the United States were canceled on Dec. 25. That's among the approximately 2,521 flights that have been canceled so far today worldwide.

Hundreds of the delayed and canceled flights are coming from China Eastern and Air China, but U.S.-based airlines such as Delta, United and JetBlue are also seeing high cancellation numbers. Delta alone has canceled 290 — or 14% — of its Christmas Day flights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

American Airlines, which canceled 88 flights on Saturday, told NPR in a statement that their operations have been "running smoothly" but that COVID-related sick calls led them to pre-cancel some of their scheduled flights for the day. Affected customers were notified yesterday, they said.

 

While airline travel was starting to pick back up before the omicron variant emerged, the massive spike in positive COVID-19 cases seen in recent weeks has become a cause for concern to airlines in keeping airline staff and passengers safe.
