Over 2,000 flights cancelled globally

Christmas Eve travel chaos has been felt worldwide as more 2,000 flights were cancelled yesterday. The disruptions were caused by staff shortages due to the rapidly spreading Omicron variant. The majority of the cancellations came from five carriers, including China Eastern which cancelled 474 journeys, and United Airlines which dropped 180. Some airlines are calling for the relaxation of quarantine rules for fully vaccinated staff during the busy holiday season. Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
