The crash occurred as the Delta jet attempted to land amid challenging conditions, contributing to the turmoil at the airport. On Monday night, nearly 400 flights were canceled, while over 300 experienced delays, according to FlightAware, a leading flight tracking service. The airport had suspended operations for over two hours following the Delta incident, with two of its five runways remaining closed post-resumption at approximately 5 p.m.
This chaos follows a weekend snowstorm that dumped over eight inches of snow at the airport, prompting over 300 flight cancellations and more than 500 delays on Sunday alone. Previously, another storm last week had already set records, dropping more accumulation in a single day than throughout January. In response to these adverse conditions, airport crews have been working tirelessly to clear snow across the expansive 1,200-acre site, aiming to maintain as much operational capacity as possible.
As recovery efforts continue, passengers are encouraged to check their flight status frequently and remain aware of potential further disruptions throughout this challenging winter period.
