Why airline travel was so chaotic this holiday season
Fox News
Thousands of flights were cancelled over the Christmas holiday, resulting in chaos at airports across the country.
Thousands of travelers were hit with major delays since Christmas Eve, according to a report from the Associated Press. While the holiday season is already one of the busiest times of the year and is prone to problems, the pandemic continued to cause problems.
Workers infected with the omicron variant were forced to call out of work for extended periods of time, leaving airlines short-staffed at one of the worst moments. The problem was made much worse by the fact that many airlines were already working with a reduced number of staff members.
