00:00On the east coast, travellers bracing for further disruptions from another winter storm later this week.
00:05Airlines still cutting back flights. Bloomberg's Benedict Camel joins us.
00:10So we're in the middle of earnings season for airlines, but we have all these flight cuts.
00:15Benny, how are airlines coping?
00:20It looks a little bit better. We sort of had the peak of disruption yesterday with more than 6,000 canceled flights.
00:25If you compare that to today, we're just north of 1,000 at this point, still quite a bit.
00:30The sort of the hotbed being still on the east coast, so places like JFK, Boston.
00:35And D.C. and so on are impacted.
00:40There's snow at this point and more the freeze.
00:42So you have a lot of de-icing activity on the ground.
00:45We're still delaying operations and actually cancelling some flights, but it appears we are through the worst at this point.
00:50We heard from Sean Duffy, the transport secretary, yesterday saying that he hopes
00:55things to be back to normal by tomorrow. So we'll see about that.
01:00There will probably be some commentary today. We get earnings from American Airlines.
01:04We get earnings from JetBlue.
01:05And those are two of the airlines that were most impacted by this.
01:08Obviously, that won't feed into the earnings.
01:10Because that came after the numbers, the storm. But still, there'll probably be some commentary on
01:15how they dealt with the operations and what kind of lessons they learned.
