Two Gulf Air flights between Bahrain and New York have been cancelled amidst a 'monster' winter storm that forced the cancellation of more than 9,400 flights in the US on Sunday.
According to the flight tracking website FlightRadar24, flight GF091, scheduled to depart from Bahrain for New York at 2.30am, and GF090, scheduled to depart from New York for Bahrain at 11.55am on Sunday, were both cancelled.
More than 4,000 flights were cancelled in the US on Saturday ahead of the winter storm that had already cut power to more than 230,000 customers as far west as Texas and threatened to paralyse eastern states with heavy snowfall.
Forecasters said snow, sleet, freezing rain and dangerously frigid temperatures would sweep the eastern two-thirds of the nation on Sunday and into the week.
Calling the storms "historic," President Donald Trump on Saturday approved federal emergency disaster declarations in South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Indiana, and West Virginia.
"We will continue to monitor, and stay in touch with all States in the path of this storm. Stay Safe, and Stay Warm," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
