According to an article written by CNN, there were 342 canceled flights from Alaska Airlines and United on January 8th throughout airports across the country.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forced all 737-9 MAX aircraft to be grounded after Alaska Airlines’ emergency landing.

The tracking service also shows that United has 222 cancellations and 138 delays.

We’ve noticed a large amount of them happening at Orlando International Airport (MCO), with 16 total. So far, we have seen 11 United cancelations and 4 Alaska Airlines cancelations today. Spirit Airlines at Orlando Airport In a statement made by Alaska Airlines, they said “…cancellations will continue through the first half of the week, and we encourage guests with travel plans to continue to check their email and alaskaair.com for updates.”.
