The Christmas holiday will see a big improvement in the number of passengers flown by US airlines

US carriers have canceled less than 1% of all flights over the past week – a far cry from the end of 2022. US airlines deliver big improvement over end of the 2022 holiday season. US carriers are less likely to cancel flights over holiday period than they were in 2022, figures show.

US airlines prepare to fly 2.8 million passengers a day over the long Christmas holiday. US airlines are aiming for a repeat of this past Thanksgiving, which saw few flight cancellations. Airlines say they are gearing up for a longer and larger stretch of Christmas holiday travel.

The forecast remains quiet for many parts of the U.S. this week until a storm over the weekend increases the chance of delays at several airports. A storm is expected to cause delays at airports across the country over the next few days. The weather could be particularly bad for Christmas Day travelers in some areas.
