Yesterday, hundreds of flights were delayed in the Eastern United States due to the hazy conditions caused by the smoke from wildfires in Canada. Now, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has warned that flights could be disrupted again today.

The FAA says it is likely to take steps to manage the flow of traffic safely into New York City, DC, Philadelphia, and Charlotte due to the reduced visibility from wildfire smoke.

Yesterday, hundreds of flights to and from LaGuardia Airport and nearby Newark Liberty International Airport were delayed due to the heavy smoke. The FAA had briefly paused traffic altogether into LaGuardia during the day.

The inbound traffic to Philadelphia International Airport was paused until 9:15 a.m., according to the FAA. As of about 9:15 a.m. ET today, more than 800 flights to, from, and within the U.S. were delayed, according to flight-tracker FlightAware. Nearly 50 departures from LaGuardia, or 8% of the schedule, were delayed as of 9:15 a.m.ET today, according to the same source.
