Weather also had an impact on airports in Austin, Houston, and El Paso, making Texas the worst-hit state. However, storms also had an impact on air travel in several other cities, including Seattle, San Francisco, Newark, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver,<\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A similar incident with Southwest Airlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Southwest is the carrier that is most adversely affected once more. Further, the Dallas-based carrier seems to be struggling to get lucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, at Southwest Airlines’ request, the FAA requested a ground stop for all of its aircraft due to a technological issue. Subsequently, no evidence supports the claim that internal organization issues\u2014or a lack thereof\u2014are to blame for the Southwest operations’ problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dallas Love Field, Houston Hobby Airport, and Denver International Airport\u2014three airports that are crucial to Southwest’s operations\u2014were impacted today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Flights and Houston, United States<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Twenty percent of daily departures and arrivals at HOU were delayed. Furthermore, with 60 departing planes and 61 arriving. Subsequently, one percent of operations were canceled, or just five outward and six incoming flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that Denver is a busier airport than DAL and HOU, outbound delays there were more substantial in terms of numbers but made up a smaller portion of operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 17% of daily departures, or 141 departing flights, and 15% of operations, or 142 inbound flights, were delayed. Less than 1% and 1% of departures and arrivals, respectively, were canceled: 7 and 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past few months, Southwest has been included in a lot of headlines, most of which have not been favorable for the company’s public relations (PR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately following Southwest’s statewide ground stop last week, it was announced that the Department of Justice would be cooperating with the Department of Transportation’s investigation into the catastrophic holiday meltdown that would occur at the end of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulators are going to look at what around 17,000 flights were canceled in approximately a week in December as a result. Furthermore, the investigation for which Southwest retained a consulting company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
