Commercial airlines around the world cancelled more than 4 000 flights over the Christmas weekend, as a mounting wave of COVID-19 infections driven by the Omicron variant created greater uncertainty and misery for holiday travellers.

Airline carriers globally scrapped at least 2 314 flights on Friday, which fell on Christmas Eve and is typically a heavy day for air travel, according to a running tally on the flight-tracking website Flight Aware.com.

Among the first US carriers to report a wave of holiday weekend cancellations were United Airlines and Delta Airlines, which scrubbed nearly 280 flights combined on Friday alone, citing personnel shortages amid the surge of COVID-19 infections. New York reported more than 44 000 newly confirmed infections on Friday alone, shattering that state’s daily record.

One in 20 Londoners had COVID-19 last week, a figure that could rise to one in 10 by early next week, according to data released on Thursday by the Office for National Statistics.
