US air travel struggled to recover Saturday from the longest nationwide flight suspension since the September 2001 terrorist attacks, with thousands of cancellations following an outage that laid bare the fragility of America’s aviation infrastructure.
Airlines are rushing to restore regular schedules, leaving more than 6,100 flights into, out of, and especially within the US canceled and another 7,400 trips delayed Saturday as of 7 p.m. New York time, according to aviation data firm FlightAware.
