There have been more Covid-related flight cancellations globally as the week starts, capping off a miserable festive period for thousands of people.
More than 2,200 flights have been scrapped on Monday, with Chinese and US destinations being the worst hit, the FlightAware data tracking website says.
US airlines say the disruption is due to crews testing positive or isolating.
In all, more than 8,000 flights have been grounded over the long Christmas weekend that began on Friday.
Although the number of cancellations is a small percentage of the total, it is higher than normal and comes at a time of year when many are travelling to spend time with family and friends.
