Air flights are being delayed or canceled, but the number is increasing, right?

Flights have been disrupted since yesterday and today due to the heavy snow that has continued for two days.
As flights are canceled or delayed, the status of operations here at Gimpo International Airport, where I am from, is constantly changing.
Earlier, there were about 258 flights canceled at airports across the country yesterday, but as of today, more than 170 flights have been canceled at airports across the country.
Let's listen to the passengers who rushed to the airport.
[Jeong Jae-hee / Sinjang-dong, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do: I even used my personal vacation to book a flight, but I'm upset that you let me know about the cancellation this morning. I'm waiting for the waiting ticket. We are vaguely waiting because the airline has not given us detailed information.]
[Lee Hyun-jung / Jeongja-dong, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do: I left 2 hours earlier than usual because of the heavy snow. Fortunately, I'm so glad that it arrived safely without delay.]
As of 11 a.m. today, a total of 32 flights were canceled at airports across the country, including Gimpo Airport, except for Incheon International Airport, including 29 domestic flights and 3 international flights.
In addition, in the case of delayed flights, 63 flights, including 53 domestic and 10 international flights, are increasing over time.
In the case of Incheon International Airport this morning, 139 flights were canceled and 76 were delayed due to heavy snow.
As such cancellations and delays are expected to increase further, those who want to use the airport should check the status of their operations through the airport and airline website in advance.
So far, I'm Choi Doohee of YTN at Gimpo International Airport.
