More snow in Seattle means more cancellations and delays at Sea-Tac [View all]

Another round of snow and continued pandemic-induced staffing problems brought an unwanted distinction to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport: for the second day in a row, the airport had more cancelled flights than any other airport on the planet.
As of 10 a.m. Thursday, airlines had canceled 289 arrivals and departures at Sea-Tac Airport — more than a quarter of all of Thursday’s scheduled flights, and the highest number of any airport in the world — according to the website FlightAware.com.
The cancellations, which scrapped 148 departures and 141 arrivals, bring Sea-Tac’s cancellation total to more than 1,450 since Sunday, when heavy snow on top of ongoing staffing issues began snarling domestic air travel, according to the flight tracking site.
Thursday’s cancellations brought more frustration for many travelers who had already been hit by cancellations that were starting to surge even before Christmas.
