Tropical Storm Beryl, which made landfall in Texas on Monday after being downgraded from a hurricane, has unleashed widespread disruptions across various sectors.

Impact on Air Travel

Houston and Dallas airports experienced significant disruptions with hundreds of flights canceled or delayed on Monday, according to data from FlightAware. Major airlines such as United and Southwest issued travel advisories, cautioning passengers about potential disruptions affecting routes to and from Houston, Austin, and Corpus Christi. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warned of possible nationwide flight disruptions as the storm progresses northward through Texas and into the northeast.

Broader Market Effects

Beyond air travel and commodities, Beryl’s influence extended to cruise stocks such as Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Norwegian Cruise Line, which rebounded on Monday following last week’s downturn when ships were rerouted to evade the storm.
