Six flights between New York and Guayaquil have been suspended this Monday due to a strong storm

Six flights between New York and Guayaquil were suspended due to a severe winter storm affecting the northeastern United States.

On Monday, a strong winter storm continued to disrupt flight schedules between New York and Guayaquil for the second consecutive day. Airlines JetBlue, Latam, and Avianca canceled a total of six flights, with four departing from New York and two departing from Guayaquil. Travelers received notifications about these cancellations as the adverse weather conditions in the northeastern United States persisted.

On Sunday, February 22, the storm had already affected flights, leading to three cancellations from the José Joaquín de Olmedo Airport in Guayaquil to New York, including two flights operated by Avianca and one by Latam. The impact of the storm extended beyond Guayaquil, affecting Quito's Mariscal Sucre Airport as well, where at least one Avianca flight was interrupted, highlighting the widespread effects of severe weather on international travel.

The cancellations due to this winter storm underscore the challenges faced by airlines and travelers during extreme weather events, as logistical hurdles can result in significant travel disruptions. Passengers are advised to stay updated with their airlines regarding flight statuses as the storm continues to unfold, indicating that the situation may persist for the foreseeable future and may exacerbate travel plans between the two cities.
