John Glenn Columbus Flight Cancellations Continue
John Glenn Columbus Flight Cancellations continue as the nationwide U.S. government shutdown disrupts air travel across the country. At least five flights departing from John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) were cancelled on November 10, adding to a growing list of cancellations affecting travelers in Ohio and beyond.
Cancelled Departures on November 10:
- American Airlines 700 — Washington D.C. (DCA), 11:44 a.m.
- Southwest Airlines 1989 — Chicago Midway, 11:45 a.m.
- Southwest Airlines 2015 — Chicago Midway, 1:50 p.m.
- American Airlines 6300 — Chicago O’Hare, 1:59 p.m.
- Southwest Airlines 2930 — Orlando, 4:30 p.m.
Officials have not confirmed whether the cancellations are directly related to air traffic control staffing shortages or TSA screening slowdowns, both of which have been affected by the ongoing shutdown.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that travel disruptions could worsen if the government impasse continues. Speaking with CNN, Duffy — a former reality TV star — said the nation could see severe air travel slowdowns heading into the Thanksgiving holiday period.
According to USA Today, nearly 3,000 flights were cancelled nationwide on November 9, with another 1,500 cancellations reported on November 10. Passengers are urged to verify flight status directly with their airlines or check flycolumbus.com for real-time updates.
