American Airlines canceled almost 250 more flights — or about 8 percent of its scheduled trips — on Monday morning after canceling over 1,500 flights through the weekend, blaming the travel disruptions on weather woes and staffing issues.
By 6 a.m. ET on Monday morning, American had canceled 249 flights for the day and delayed another 91, according to data from aviation tracking site FlightAware.
The recent bout of cancellations comes as the airline scrambles to recover from a messy Halloween weekend that saw the airline cancel as much as 30 percent of its scheduled flights on some days.
