A total number of more 2,500 flights were cancelled on Tuesday, and another 5,100 were delayed as air travellers continue to suffer air traffic nightmares across the globe.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the cancellation adds to thousands of flights that have been cancelled in the last few days.
Air traffic tracking website, FlightAware released these shocking flight cancellation details, revealing Monday was an even bigger nightmare for travellers, with more than 2,800 flights cancelled, and 11,000 delayed.

The cancellations come at the busiest time of year for air travel. The US Transportation Security Administration said it screened millions of people each day over the holiday weekend, peaking at 2.19 million travellers on Thursday, December 23. On Wednesday, more people passed through TSA checkpoints than on the same day in 2019.
Saturday, air travel was a bit slower because of the flight cancellations: More than 1.53 million people passed through security checkpoints Saturday.
United Airlines (UAL) said last week it had to cancel hundreds of flights because it lacked enough crew members to safely fly all of its scheduled routes.
“The nationwide spike in Omicron cases this week has had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation,” said a United memo obtained by CNN.
Delta said it was working to get all stranded travellers home as quickly as possible.
“We apologize to our customers for the delay in their holiday travel plans,” Delta said in a statement. “Delta people are working hard to get them to where they need to be as quickly and as safely as possible on the next available flight.”
