NEWARK -- Area airports were plowed and ready for business Sunday afternoon, but airlines continued canceling flights as they struggled to recover from the weekend storm that crippled the region.

Newark Liberty International Airport expected to have its first flight land around 3 p.m. Sunday, said officials with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees the airports.

John F. Kennedy International had its first arrival at 7:10 a.m. and its first departure around 10 a.m, the Port Authority said. LaGuardia Airport's first departure was scheduled for noon and Atlantic City International Airport had its first arrival around 9:30 a.m.

"We remind all airline passengers to confirm flight times, departures and arrivals with the airline carriers before traveling to the airports," Port Authority officials said in a statement.

At Philadelphia International Airport, officials posted photos on the airport's social media accounts Sunday afternoon showing plows clearing runways of snow.

There were more than 2,200 cancellations of flights in and out of New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia on Sunday.

Many passengers who switched their flights to Monday may be out of luck. As of 2 p.m. Sunday, more than 300 flights scheduled for Monday were cancelled at the New Jersey, New York City and Philadelphia airports, according to FlightAware, a flight tracking service.

The cancelled Monday flights include 100 at Newark Liberty, 68 at Philadelphia International, 47 at JFK and 112 at LaGuardia, according to the flight tracker.

United Airlines, the largest carrier at Newark Airport, said it is slowly restoring service after the weekend storm disrupted travel nationwide.

Though the New Jersey and New York airports recovered relatively quickly, the Washington airports continued to have a high percentage of cancellations Sunday and Monday. United officials said the airline will begin flying out of Washington, D.C., again Monday.

"The company is planning for extended operational delays and cancellations," United officials said in a statement.

Airlines continue to offer fee waivers for passengers who need to switch their flights to later in the week.
