Aviation experts say delays should get better.
But the delays have worn out travelers.
“It’s just been exhausting, that’s all I can say,” said Kamahinaonawai Popelman.
She is just relieved to be home.
“I’m just glad and happy to be away from the planes. It’s like, okay, I don’t have to worry about when’s the next flight,” said Popelman.
Former News Center 7 reporter Sean Cudahy is a senior aviation reporter with Point Sky.
He says the air travel system is complicated.
“The airlines will sometimes take a day like today as kind of their reset day and basically cancel a ton of flights, get the planes back in the right places, get the crews back in their right places,” said Cuadahy.
He said that the delays and cancelations people experienced are normal and predicts they’re going to get better.
“Tomorrow will be better than today. Monday will be. I imagine as we get into the beginning of the week here, things are going to look pretty normal.”
