| 2023-01-03 | |
| Why is Covid better than SouthWest? Because it's airborne. [FoxBusinessNews] Flight tracking site data showed Denver International Airport led the country with 139 canceled flights and 418 others delayed. Travel issues continued to snowball at Denver International Airport on Monday after over 600 flights were canceled or delayed because icy conditions and poor visibility plagued the runway, according to reports.
In fact, Denver International Airport was on its way to recovery after a tumultuous week of holiday travel, when Southwest Airlines stranded thousands of passengers in airports across the country, including Denver. Snow showers were expected to continue through most of the day and into the evening on Monday, Fox station KDVR in Denver reported. At 7:30 p.m. EST on Monday, Denver International reported 139 flights canceled and 418 delayed. Across the country, there were 7,077 flight delays within, into, or out of the U.S., according to flight tracking website FlightAware.com, and 710 cancelations. Denver’s airport also led the nation in cancelations and delays during the day, according to FlightAware’s data. Southwest Airline is a major carrier that flies in and out of Denver. Two days before Christmas, a winter storm that swept across the country crippled air travel, leaving many passengers stranded in airports across the country. Delays continued through the weekend and into the following week. | |

| #2 It was pretty nasty then. I am not surprised they delayed flights. Fog thick as pea soup with freezing drizzle. Yuck. |
