More than 100 flights out of Chicago’s two international airports were canceled on Tuesday morning because of heavy fog, disrupting plans for Christmas Eve travelers. Midway International Airport reported 71 canceled flights as of 9:30 a.m. local time, and O’Hare International Airport reported 53, with average delays of half an hour. A ground stop for arriving flights was in effect for several hours at O’Hare, the F.A.A. reported, but had been lifted as of 9:30 a.m.“Passengers flying through @fly2ohare and @fly2midway should contact their airline regarding delays due to fog,” the F.A.A. said on Twitter.
