Flight cancellations at Pittsburgh International Airport surpass 100
Pittsburgh International Airport has canceled more than 100 flights on Sunday, as a historic winter storm hits western Pennsylvania.
The airport has 102 cancellations and seven delays as of Sunday afternoon, according to the flight-tracking site FlightAware. For Monday, there are already 25 cancellations. Travelers should contact their airline for updated flight information.
"Our crews have been on the airfield all night keeping runways clear, and we'll continue this work throughout the day as flights continue to depart and arrive," the airport said in a tweet.
Airlines across the nation have canceled more than 10,000 U.S. flights for Sunday, according to FlightAware. That's the most for a single day since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sunday's winter storm could drop 10 to 16 inches of snow on the Pittsburgh region, and state agencies have put travel restrictions on many of the major roads across Pennsylvania.
Pittsburgh Regional Transit warns of delays
In a post on social media on Sunday morning, Pittsburgh Regional Transit said that all service is experiencing delays of up to 60 minutes due to the road conditions. The transit agency said buses cannot serve certain parts of the Pittsburgh area because of snow accumulation.
"We encourage you to call Customer Service (412-442-2000) to see if your bus is serving your bus stop, and to use TrueTime or a 3rd party app to track your trip," PRT said on social media.
Adam Brandolph, a spokesperson for PRT, told KDKA News that delays could increase as the day goes on.
