Holiday travelers at Denver International Airport continued to face flight cancellations and delays Monday as airlines struggled to recover after more than 1,000 flights were canceled during the peak holiday travel days last week.
Southwest Airlines representatives did not immediately return a request for more information Monday, but the airline said in a statement on its website Saturday that winter storms “forced thousands of cancellations throughout our network.”
The statement said Southwest Airlines was “uniquely affected given our size and structure.” The statement did not elaborate. United Airlines showed 15 canceled flights Monday, about 2% of its Denver traffic, and 59 delayed flights, about 11% of total traffic in Denver, according to FlightAware. Other airlines had just a handful of cancellations and delays Monday.
Weather in Denver warmed into the 50s on Saturday and is expected to stay mild for the next few days.
