WASHINGTON (Dispatches) - Southwest Airlines travelers were facing another day of disruptions. The carrier suspended hundreds of additional flights on Monday, after canceling and delaying thousands over the weekend — reportedly due to air traffic control issues and weather.
The airline has canceled more than 355 flights and delayed another 581 as of Monday morning, according to the online tracker FlightAware. Those canceled flights make up 10% of its schedule, as compared to 30% on Sunday.
Southwest said over the weekend that the high volume of cancellations was causing longer-than-usual customer service wait times, and asked affected travelers to explore self-service rebooking options online.
