New Delhi: Hurricane Sandy cut off northeast United States from the rest of the world as airlines, including Indian carriers, cancelled at least 8,000 flights over the next three days to and from mega hubs like New York, Newark, Washington, Philadelphia and Boston. Authorities in these ordered airports shut ahead of the storm's landfall.
On Monday, stranded flyers were being asked to rebook on flights - without any charge for one change - after Thursday but with seats not easy to find, a cascading disruption is expected to last at least a week.
Jet Airways cancelled flights between Brussels and Newark's Liberty International Airport (EWR) on Monday and Tuesday and expected delays on Wednesday. "Please do not proceed to the airport unless you have a confirmed booking and if your flight is in operation," Jet warned. Air India has indefinitely delayed non-stop Mumbai-Newark and Delhi-New York flights. American carrier United that flies nonstop from India to New York has also cancelled these flights for Monday.
