Flights at major New York airports have been delayed as smoke from a series of wildfires in Canada limited visibility.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warned travellers to expect flights to be delayed by up to two hours at New York 's Laguardia Airport and nearby Newark International.
Some 800 flight delays at New York City airports were reported by 19:50 EST (03:50 BST), according to Flight Aware.

About 250 flights were delayed at Toronto Pearson International Airport .
New York City's Laguardia Airport told passengers: " Weather conditions have caused LGA Airport flight disruptions. Check with your airline to determine the status of your flight. "
As Canadian firefighters struggle to control the 400 wildfires raging across the country, smoke blanketed much of The Eastern part of the country and the East Coast . The haze blotted out New York City's famed skyline and drew comparisons to Mars and a post-apocalyptic scene.
Health officials in both countries have issued warnings about potentially dangerous air quality and pollution.
There are More Than 150 fires burning in Quebec alone, but according to the province's premiere, Francois Legault , there are only enough firefighters to tackle 40 of the infernos.
At a news conference Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said More Than 230 fires are raging out of control and More Than 20,000 people have evacuated their homes.
" Firefighters are stepping up. First responders are stepping up in harrowing situations to save their fellow citizens, " Mr Trudeau said.

The White House has said it will send support to Canada to help battle the fires.
Smoke from the infernos has travelled south, enveloping New York City in a haze so thick that tourists could barely see The Iconic Statue of Liberty.
Officials have said residents should expect poor air quality and the smoky haze to linger until Thursday evening in Toronto and much of Ontario.
Air quality in New York is projected to remain " unhealthy" until Thursday, while Washington, DC also braces for poor air levels as The Smoke moves south.
