(BREITBART) – Two thousand flights have been canceled Christmas Eve in relation to the omicron variant, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware.
As President Biden promised to “shut down the virus” during the 2020 presidential campaign, nearly a year later omicron is impacting airlines’ ability to transport Christmas travelers in a timely fashion. FlightAware shows about 1,175 flights have already been canceled for Saturday, Christmas Day.
United Airlines told the Wall Street Journal that flight crews and operational employees are in short supply due to omicron exposure.
