Snowfall slowed across the Denver metro area Saturday morning, but delays and cancellations continued at Denver International Airport, after a week that saw thousands of flights impacted by winter weather.
As of 11:35 a.m., 73 flights into and out of the airport had been canceled Saturday while another 263 were delayed, according to the flight-tracking service FlightAware.
The majority of those flights belonged to SkyWest, with 50 flights canceled and 62 delayed; United, with six flights canceled and 99 delayed; and Southwest, with eight flights canceled and 73 delayed.
Travel impacts Saturday were less severe than the preceding days, with about 1,100 flights impacted Thursday followed by more than 1,500 flights Friday.
Airport spokesman Michael Konopasek said many of the delays were necessitated by the process of removing ice from planes.
