Passengers at the Las Vegas airport saw many delayed or canceled flights this weekend. (Image: Wikimedia)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The airline glitches were reported as of 4:30 pm Saturday by FlightAware.com, an online flight tracking site.\u00a0Flights to and from other US airports were also impacted by the foul weather. Nationwide, 15,300 or more flights were delayed Saturday. About 4,800 flights across the US also were canceled as of Saturday afternoon. Among the cities impacted was Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>The delays and cancellations come as tourists plan to visit casinos and entertainment venues in Las Vegas for a weekend that includes Father\u2019s Day and Juneteenth. Juneteenth is a recently enacted federal holiday commemorating the final freeing of enslaved Blacks.<\/p>\n<h2>Wind Gusts<\/h2>\n<p>Southern Nevada was among the regions that was experiencing a wind advisory. Winds on Saturday were predicted to be 20 to 30 mph. Gusts were up to 50 mph, <em>KLAS<\/em>, a local TV station, reported.<\/p>\n<p>Among the airlines which faced recent disruptions to flights was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-reid-airport-to-add-flights-from-breeze-airways-starting-in-june\/\">Breeze Airways<\/a>. The new budget carrier just started a Las Vegas to Syracuse, N.Y. route. A Friday flight on this route was canceled, <em>KLAS<\/em> said. A Breeze flight from Las Vegas to Richmond, Va. also was canceled, the report said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>Also, national disruptions to air travel were seen on Thursday and Friday, Flightaware.com reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>More than 2,000 flights were canceled in the US on Friday. Bad weather was the cause of those disruptions. Also, more than 1,700 US flights were canceled on Thursday.<\/p>\n<h2>Pilot Shortages<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond weather-related cancellations, other cancellations were being blamed nationally on a US pilot shortage. American, Southwest, Delta, and United Airlines were among those forced to cancel flights given the shortage of pilots.<\/p>\n<p>Several air carriers are planning or considering boosting pilot salaries to lure more licensed pilots to their airlines.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>Some of the pilot shortage was blamed on pent-up demand by passengers for air travel after vaccines became available for the COVID-19 pandemic, <em>Insider<\/em>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Higher Fuel Prices<\/h2>\n<p>Airlines are also facing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-travel-plans-may-be-rethought-by-southern-californians-due-to-gas-prices\/\">higher fuel costs<\/a>. That trend is impacting the decision to travel on the upcoming July 4 holiday. A recent survey by <em>The Vacationer<\/em> revealed that 13.40% of those who want to board a plane said fuel prices will affect their airline holiday travel plans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>In addition, Stephen Miller, director of research at UNLV\u2019s Center for Business and Economic Research, told <em>Casino.org<\/em> last week that airfares \u201care high at the moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBut the bottom seems to drop out of air ticket prices in September,\u201d Miller said. \u201cRather than visit Las Vegas in summer, some may wait until fall.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las Vegas airline passengers faced at least 150 delayed flights and 13 outright cancellations as of Saturday afternoon.
