AirHelp looked at 37,000 cancellations across 400 U.S. airports and found that these were the 10 worst for cancellations during the period.
Bloomberg quoted an unnamed AirHelp spokesperson who said:
"Cancellations can happen for a variety of reasons, but in general we often see a higher concentration of cancellations and flight disruptions at airports that are higher in traffic, which is true for airports in the New York area."
The situation isn't likely to get better between now and the end of September, according to Bloomberg.
