Ahead of the Fourth of July travel weekend, Bernie Sanders calls on the U.S. Department of Transportation to take action to reduce airline cancellations and delays.

Just like in the U.S., airlines and airports that slashed jobs during the depths of the COVID-19 crisis are now struggling to keep up with exploding travel demand.

Canada has had about 2.4 million cases of COVID-19 since December 2020. About 85% of the population has gotten at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, while about 82% has gotten two doses.

Air travel demand is back to pre-pandemic levels, while fares are soaring. Staffing shortages leave airlines with little wiggle room when bad weather hits, which could lead to delays and cancellations

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is lifting its COVID-19 testing requirement for airline travelers coming into the country. It's a major change for the travel industry.

Michael Lowe says he is still suffering from trauma following a 17-day experience in a New Mexico jail, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

The Justice Department argues that the order issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in early 2021 "falls easily within the CDC's statutory authority."

U.S. airlines canceled more than 2,800 flights from Thursday through Monday, or about 2% of their schedules, according to tracking service FlightAware.

Pay for flight attendants typically starts when all the passengers are seated and the plane's doors close. The change is expected to increase wages by several thousand dollars a year.

The cases will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the company. Here's a look at where each of the major U.S. airlines stands.
