American Airlines cancel almost 1000 flights

American Airlines said that it has proactively canceled nearly 1,000 solar flights due to the storm. It is on top of 160 cancellations on Saturday.

Most of the canceled Sunday flights are to and from Charlotte, North Carolina, where America has a big hub. The airline said that it is reducing operations at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport from Saturday night.

All flights to and from Charlotte on American regional partners are canceled on Sunday, and more than two out of three of the other Charlotte flights are canceled.

Southwest Airlines has canceled four flights to and from Charlotte on Sunday in addition to canceling the last four flights due to arriving at the airport on Saturday.

Travelers recommend checking the flight status before going to the airport.
