Syracuse, N.Y. — Flight delays are up at Syracuse Hancock International Airport, according to the latest federal data. Through February, the most recent month with data available, over 20% of flights departing from Syracuse were delayed, according to the federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics. That’s an increase from about 15% during the same period in 2024. The bureau considers a flight delayed if it left its gate 15 minutes or more after its scheduled time.

The House compromise on the federal deduction for state and local taxes could be in danger in the Senate. House leaders reached a deal with Republican members from several states, including New York, to raise the current cap on the deduction, known as SALT, from $10,000 to $40,000 as part of a push last month to pass a massive bill that contains much of President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda. The bill narrowly passed and got the support of the members who had pushed for the higher cap.
