JetBlue is experiencing the most flight delays at the airport by far, with 25 flights delayed so far today, which may increase throughout the day.
Across the country, more than 1,800 flights have been canceled on Monday. Each day since the FAA’s order took effect on Friday has seen more than 1,500 flight cancellations across the country. Sunday’s total was almost 3,500, according to FlightAware.

Earlier this week, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that he was ordering a 10% cut in flights at 40 major airports, including Boston’s Logan International Airport, due to air traffic control staffing shortages caused by the federal government shutdown.
To check whether your flight has been canceled, most major airlines, including American Airlines, Delta, JetBlue and United Airlines, allow flyers to check the status of their flights by inputting their flight number directly on their website.
