The Emirates announcement comes as a major winter storm causes widespread disruption across the US during the busy holiday travel period.
As of Friday night, 1,600 flights had been cancelled and more than 7,400 delayed, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. Over 40 million Americans were under winter storm warnings or weather advisories, one day after Christmas.
Airports in New York, Boston, Chicago and Toronto were among the most affected, with JFK, Newark and LaGuardia featuring prominently on FlightAware’s “Misery Map”, which tracks delays and cancellations. New York’s three major airports alone accounted for around 850 cancelled flights.
