20 NY-bound flights on hold after hurricane alert

New Delhi: About 20 flights operating to New York's JFK and Newark airports from Delhi and several more across the world were suspended on Saturday after hurricane Irene forced the airports to shut for incoming flights. Airport sources said Sunday operations were also hit and airlines were watching the situation closely to take further decisions.
Air India officials said their Saturday flights to JFK and Newark from both Delhi and Mumbai had been suspended, though they were expecting flights from there to come in sometime on Sunday.
Jet Airways, too, had cancelled its Brussels to Newark and Brussels to JFK connections on Sunday, though Monday's operations were likely to take place according to schedule. Sources said passengers scheduled to fly out on Saturday and Sunday had been accommodated in hotels and efforts were on to rebook them on flights in the next couple of days.
