Flight cancellations, delays continue at DIA Monday morning, with Delta leading the pack

Delta Air Lines is leading carriers in the number of canceled flights at Denver International Airport Monday morning — with 22 flights axed — five days after a technology meltdown snarled computer systems across the globe.

There were 116 flight delays at DIA and 28 nixed flights overall as of 9 a.m., according to data from flight tracking website FlightAware. Southwest Airlines took the crown in delays Monday, with 52.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported that no destination-specific delays are happening at DIA and both arrival and departure delays are at 15 minutes or less, on average.

Monday’s early slowdown follows several days of operational tumult at the airport. More than 600 flights were canceled or delayed Sunday while more than 800 flights were delayed or scrapped the day before at DIA.

The company said the problem occurred when it deployed a faulty update to computers running Microsoft Windows.

As of 9 a.m. Monday, there were more than 2,500 delays within, into or out of the United States, and 882 flight cancellations. Delta was far and away the leader in delays, with more than 700.
