Winter Storm Fern is disrupting US air travel, prompting airlines to cancel flights, warn of delays and issue travel waivers as ice, snow and strong winds sweep across major hubs and regional airports in the south, east and central parts of the country.
Air India said on Saturday it had cancelled all flights to and from New York and Newark, New Jersey, for Sunday and Monday.
