The numbers are huge. This must affect passengers from all over the globe, not just in/out of USA.

Still, these are US companies afaics. A simple "US " in front of the headline and my pulse would not be slightly above normal now. Not that I don't care about Americans! But it's not news anymore that your country is mostly fucked.
