NYC Flight Cancellations: Latest Status for JFK, LGA and EWR
More than 1,300 flights into and out of New York’s three major airports—JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark—have been cancelled as of today, Wednesday, February 25, 2026. This mass disruption follows a “historic” blizzard that dropped up to 30 inches of snow in parts of the region earlier this week.
While flight operations began to resume around noon on Tuesday, significant delays and cancellations persist as airlines work to reposition aircraft and crews.
Current Status of Major NYC Airports (JFK, LGA, EWR)
John F. Kennedy International (JFK) reported over 400 cancellations today. LaGuardia (LGA) & Newark Liberty (EWR) both continue to see heavy disruptions, with nearly half of all scheduled departures scrapped yesterday.
Major carriers including American, Delta, JetBlue, and United have issued travel waivers, allowing passengers to reschedule without additional fees. International flights from carriers like Air India and Emirates have also been affected.
