Charlotte Douglas improves after rough weekend

On Jun 25, 2022

Dozens of flights at Charlotte Douglas International Airport were delayed or canceled Monday, as passengers continue to deal with travel headaches across the U.S.

As of 10:15 a.m., 56 flights were delayed at Charlotte, with 11 cancellations. Most flights impacted were American Airlines, which has 38 delays and 8 cancellations, according to the flight-tracking website Flight Aware.

While some passengers were stranded at the airport for over 24 hours, others were able to avoid the delays with an on-time itinerary. Carol Sturgis made it back home to Charlotte without any issues after a weekend with family in Phoenix.

“I had no problems at all,” Sturgis said. “It went very well. I heard about all the others, but not me, I was very lucky.”

Liliana Holmes said she was stuck at Charlotte Douglas for over 24 hours on her way home to Louisiana from Boston. Because of her age, Holmes had no option other than to spend the night in the terminal.
