Air travel in and out of New York was expected to be disrupted for a second consecutive day on Thursday as smoke from Canada’s wildfires continued to envelop the Big Apple. The Federal Aviation Administration said that reduced visibility from wildfire smoke would continue to affect air travel. “We will likely need to take steps to manage the flow of traffic safely into New York City, DC, Philadelphia, and Charlotte,” the agency said.
