Air travel to New York is being slashed as carriers scrap thousands of U.S. flights to keep planes, crew and passengers out of the path of a blizzard threatening the Northeast with as much as 2 feet of snow.
The tally of today’s cancellations of more than 1,900 by industry data tracker FlightAware.com is likely to rise as the storm develops. Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. scrubbed about 600 flights and JetBlue Airways Corp. some 280.
