According to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport Communications Coordinator Megan Peters, weather conditions in the Pacific Northwest can create a domino effect and impact both incoming and departing flights.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Shawn Ooszak, from Palmer, was returning from a several-month trip in Portland, Oregon after helping a friend when he found himself stuck at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
Ooszak was trying to get to Nome, where he was planning to start panning for gold. But instead, his flight was canceled three times. Oozak has not been the only Alaskan with bad luck traveling this week. Since Monday, Alaska Airlines said they have canceled six flights, three flights headed south and three flights headed north from Anchorage.
“We do know there is weather events happening down in the Lower 48, and even though that’s so far away, those things can impact operations in multiple places, to include ANC,” Peters said.
