A winter storm with snow and blizzard conditions caused many flights to be delayed or canceled at Denver International Airport.
DENVER — Winter weather has caused hundreds of flights at Denver International Airport to be delayed or canceled on Thursday.
There were 525 flights delayed and eight canceled at Denver’s airport, according to FlightAware, as of 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
SkyWest, Southwest, United, Frontier, American and Delta are among the impacted airlines.
Denver International Airport said it typically handles anywhere from 1,700 to 2,000 flights on any given day.
The state’s largest airport recommended that travelers check security wait times ahead of travel at FlyDenver.com and reminded passengers that de-icing operations could add 15 to 20 minutes to a trip.
Winter Storm Watches are up for most of the Denver metro area for a significant winter storm.
On Thursday, the same upper-level low that’s been spinning up snow and clouds since Tuesday will continue to churn up heavier snow along and south and east of the Palmer Divide, south of Denver.
The next storm system headed to Colorado will likely bring six inches or more of snow on Friday and Saturday.
