Plenty of cancellations at St. John's Airport

It seems as though a few factors were in play over the weekend at St. John's International Airport which resulted in many flight cancellations. The weather was poor in that there was low visibility and low ceilings. To top it off, construction at the airport has been causing some issues. The warning that there may be delays and cancellations went out Friday evening and by Saturday morning travelers were being warned to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
While this kind of weather may not usually affect the airport in such a big way because there is limited operational capability due to the construction on the runway it was just too many factors working against the schedule, it seemed. On Saturday morning the Airport Authority tweeted that "It's not looking good for flight ops today. Check with your airline for status of your flight."
