Dozens of Southwest Airlines flights were canceled on Saturday and more than 100 more were delayed at Dallas Love Field on Saturday, data shows.
FlightAware, which tracks delays and cancellations nationwide, showed 70 Southwest flights were canceled and 130 were delayed on Saturday. Two Delta Airlines flights have also been canceled at Love Field.
Southwest Airlines said the canceled and delayed flights were due to air traffic control issues and bad weather. The airline urged customers to rebook and check their flight status on Southwest.com.
“ATC problems and disruptive weather have resulted in a high number of cancellations throughout the weekend as we work to get our operations back on track. We are working hard to provide support to affected customers as quickly as possible, ”a Southwest spokesman said in a written statement. “We ask our customers whose trips are affected by travel to explore the rebooking options in self-service mode and to check their flight status on Southwest.com.”
