More than 2,300 flights canceled at NYC-area airports

Posted: Updated:

More than 2,300 flights have been canceled at New York City's three major airports.

Flight-tracking website FlightAware shows massive cancellations at John. F Kennedy, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty airports.

FlightAware indicated that most domestic carriers suspended operations by 5 p.m. Friday. Flights will resume sometime Saturday afternoon. International carriers may continue to operate.

Airlines issued so-called "weather waivers," allowing passengers flying in the storm-affected areas to change their flight date without paying a change fee.

Airlines try to get ahead of big storms by canceling flights in advance.

    It once was an accepted tactic as old as policing itself and, according to the NYPD, a key to the city's dramatic drop in crime: patrol officers stopping young men on the street to see if they're up to no good.
