ATLANTA — People trying to fly out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport should check with their airline before heading out.
Channel 2’s Tom Jones was at the airport on Sunday, where he found people either facing long delays or cancellations.
“I would venture to say that 70% of the flights arriving here at Hartsfield-Jackson are canceled.
The airport was under a ground stop on Sunday morning, but that has since been upgraded to say that the airport was deicing. At one point, flights were being delayed for at least two hours.
