Southwest canceled close to two-thirds of its flights Monday.
An intense winter storm has caused a spate ofat airports nationwide and across Southern California, more so than expected during the bustling holiday season.
Southwest Airlines, one of the most popular airlines due to its low-cost fares and flexible ticketing policy, had to apologize Monday for operational challenges causing long delays at LAX and other airports nationwide due to the winter storm. Southwest canceled more than 2,700 flights Monday, close to two-thirds of its scheduled total, according to the tracking website FlightAware.
“That’s about half the schedule that has been impacted today overall. The silver lining is we do have about half the scheduled flights operating on time or early, so that’s a big chunk of flights,” Montgomery said. “Our airline partners have done a great job of getting ahead of things and alerting passengers as soon they possibly can when changes occur. Obviously, this is an extreme situation that has impacted airline travel nationwide,” airport spokesman Steve Lambert said in a statement Monday. “If passengers have questions or concerns, they should work directly with their airline. In the meantime, we are here to make their experience at the airport itself as convenient as possible.
Other Southern California airports affected included John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Hollywood Burbank Airport and Palm Springs International Airport. While FlightAware did not note any cancelled or delayed arrival flights at Palm Springs, it did log 12 cancelled departures and 22 delayed departures on Monday.
