*NiMET warns of hazy weather days aheadNo fewer than 4,600 flights were affected by COVID-19 and bad weather in the last week globally. The dusty heavy wind will affect local flights and most likely worsen flight delays and cancellations. Already, over 4,600 flights worldwide were cancelled in the last four days, with more than 2,500 of them in the U.S., air traffic site FlightAware reported. In 2019 alone, the NCAA recorded 65,401 flights, of which 37,510 (about 57 per cent) were delayed and 356 cancelled. Solution is that each terminal should begin to allocate slots to the airlines’ flights hourly and daily.
