With the dangerous Winter Storm Jonas in the United
States of America many airlines are forced to cancel their flights. Nigeria’s
Arik Air is rescheduling flight. According to the airline, “Following
weather advice just received from JFK International Airport New York, Arik Air
regrets to inform all its passengers that the Lagos - New York flight for
Friday 22nd January has been rescheduled tentatively to 11:30pm (local time) on
Sunday 24th January, 2016.
This 48-hour postponement is intended to allow the
dangerous winter storm (Jonas) and snow condition to clear before the flight’s
entry into the United States airspace.
Arik Air regrets the inconvenience caused by this
postponement which is highly regretted, but the safety of passengers is of
upper-most importance to the airline.
We would update passengers and confirm our next flight by
6pm Saturday, 23rd January, 2016.”
Winter News in its reports also said a potentially
crippling snowstorm has made its way towards the South, Mid-Atlantic and
Northeast, bringing with it not just big snow, but ice, high winds and flooding
as well. Two people have died due to traffic incidents, and hundreds of crashes
have been reported.
In the face of blizzard warnings in D.C., Baltimore, New
York City, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, millions of residents are preparing for
a havoc-filled weekend. The storm has already brought treacherous travel
conditions and power outages across the South. Washington D.C. and at least
eight states made emergency declarations: New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Tennessee.
