A long line of travelers waits for Alaska Airlines customer service at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Tuesday morning, December 28, 2021.
As of 9 a.m. Wednesday airlines had canceled 259 flights into or out of Sea-Tac Airport, or roughly a quarter of all flights scheduled Tuesday, and 180 flights Wednesday, according to Holiday air travel worldwide was thrown into chaos last week as a surge of coronavirus infections left many airlines so short-staffed that they delayed and canceled thousands of flights.
Not only were stranded passengers scrambling to find new flights, but the cancellations also meant many aircraft and flight crews weren’t at the airports they’d been scheduled to depart from. “It literally will take several days to get people and planes back in position where we can put them back into rotation,” Egan said.
“We just want to get home because we got all the pets at home, plus we’re worried about the pipes in our house,” said Paul Redman, a Seattle resident who was stuck in Florida with his wife and three kids for two days after their Alaska flight back to Seattle was canceled Sunday night.
