Quiet local air travel as nation sees holiday rush – WILX

LANSING, Mich. (WILX) — Millions of people are flying home for the Christmas holiday, but a severe storm across the east coast is expected to create headaches for travelers all over the country.

None of the outgoing flights at the Capital Region International Airport were cancelled, although one United flight to Chicago-O’Hare did see about a 30-minute delay Friday evening. Flights were also delayed in other parts of the state because of that heavy rain in the northeast.

A mix of heavy rain and strong winds are expected to cause delays all along the east coast, including at airports with a lot of foot traffic such as Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston.

Arriving flights from New York City were delayed in Flint, Grand Rapids and Detroit
