Nearly 200 flights were delayed Monday morning at Denver International Airport after low-hanging clouds and weather triggered a ground stop, followed by a ground delay, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The ground stop was first issued at about 8:30 a.m. Monday. By 10 a.m., it had become a ground delay, according to the FAA.
That traffic management program is expected to last through 1 p.m. Monday, delaying flights between 30 minutes and an hour on average, FAA officials said.
As of 10 a.m. Monday, 172 flights had been delayed and three had been canceled, according to flight tracking software FlightAware.
Southwest delayed 77 flights, followed by 36 from United, 34 from SkyWest and 10 from American Airlines. Six other airlines delayed between one and nine flights.
All three canceled flights were United flights, according to FlightAware.
FAA officials said flights trying to depart from the airport were originally grounded because of “low ceilings,” an aviation term that refers to the height of the lowest cloud layer.
