NEW YORK, NY – A winter storm brought travel chaos to the Northeast on Sunday, causing widespread flight delays and ground stops at major airports. John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) all experienced significant disruptions.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) implemented ground stops at JFK and LGA around 8:00 AM ET, temporarily halting departing flights. The ground stops were originally slated to be lifted around 10:30 AM ET. More than 1,000 flights into JFK were delayed, with delays averaging three hours and 16 minutes and stretching as long as four hours and 53 minutes, according to the FAA. LaGuardia reported 2.6 inches of snow, while New York City saw around 1.1 inches.

Philadelphia International Airport was also heavily impacted, with over 700 flights delayed. Newark Liberty experienced ground delays, with incoming flights delayed an average of 170 minutes, with some delays reaching 267 minutes.

“Due to snow or ice, this is causing some arriving flights [into JFK] to be delayed an average of three hours and 16 minutes, not exceeding four hours and 53 minutes,” stated the FAA on Sunday morning.
