Cancellations pile up at Charlotte airport Saturday for stranded travelers. What to know

More than 120 flights in and out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport have been cancelled as of early Saturday morning, as the nation’s airlines scramble to recover from the extraordinary ground stop Friday that left hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded. The hours-long ground stop was caused by communication equipment failures that the Trump administration blamed on “1980s” computer systems. Nearly 500 flights in and out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport were delayed Friday, and at least 90 canceled, due to the meltdown that lasted about four hours. CLT officials said flights resumed Friday night, but disruptions are likely to persist through the weekend. According to FlightAware, Delta has canceled 20% of its Saturday flights nationwide, while JetBlue scrapped 40% of departures. American Airlines was showing 14% of routes canceled Saturday, or nearly 500 routes. American, the primary carrier at CLT, said it was working toward “the strongest possible recovery tomorrow and in the days ahead.” “We expect residual delays and cancellations (Friday night) and into tomorrow following the FAA’s nationwide ground stop. We’re grateful to our team members for their continued work to care for our customers and minimize the impact of this disruption as much as possible.” The

After losing fight to save heritage oak in Freedom Park, she wants developers held to account

In mid-October, Meigan Alexander asked herself, “ Can we save this tree? ” The tree in question was a 100-year-old oak tree shading the corner of Salem Drive and Idlewood Circle, across the street from her home in Charlotte’s Freedom Park neighborhood. The tree wasn’t sick or in danger of falling. But it and another heritage tree in the backyard were in the way of a redevelopment project, according to the property owners and developer Amin Ventures . When Alexander and other neighbors learned Amin Ventures intended to cut down both trees, they pushed back. Alexander led the charge, reaching out to the city and trying to contact the developer about a compromise. Her request was simple: Save the tree on the corner. “Even if (the tree) is taken down, we know that we have done everything that we could within our power to try and work with the developer and save that tree to benefit everyone,” Alexander said in October. So, could Alexander save that tree? No. On Nov. 9, the home was demolished. Both trees were gone the following day. A dirt plot remains. “At least we can say we put the effort in, and we did try,”
