COVID-19 Causes Flight Delays, Cancellations Across the Country

Travelers heading to the airport will want to double-check their flight status. Thousands of flights across the country are seeing delays and cancelations with several airlines due to crew shortages caused by COVID-19.

Currently, there are no flights out of Tulsa that are delayed or canceled, but Tulsa hasn't been immune to the recent flight cancelations.

Officials from Southwest say they have canceled about 80 domestic flights out of 3,600 because of winter weather conditions in different parts of the country.

American Airlines says while other airports around the country are seeing delays or cancellations, the airline has not had any in the last two days.

The spread of COVID-19 has left many airlines with crew member shortages. But new CDC guidance has shortened the recommended quarantine window from 10 days to five.
