Transatlantic flights back to normal after hurricane
Flights from Europe to most eastern parts of the United States are getting back to normal following the havoc caused by Hurricane Isabel.
While thousands of flights to airports in affected areas were cancelled, the hurricane has now lost some of its strength and has been downgraded to a tropical storm. The Air Travellers’ Association has stated that some 1,500 flights were cancelled yesterday in and around the eastern seabord.
British Airways this morning told News From Abroad that while flights were cancelled yesterday, services to Washington and New York would go ahead as normal today, apart from one flight from Washington to Heathrow. Virgin Atlantic, too, is planning to run a full service today having cancelled its flight to Washington yesterday. American Airlines’ website is still warning that several airports may still be forced to close today, which will undoubtedly lead to flights being postponed or cancelled.
Meanwhile, George Bush has declared North Carolina a disaster area after roads were washed away and more than a million people have been left without power. Many areas saw more than six inches of rain in no more than a few hours and wind speeds hit 100 miles per hour in many places.
