See Southwest, other flight cancelations, delays. How to check your flight status
After blizzard conditions and frigid temperatures hit Greater Cincinnati late last week, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport continues to experience delays and cancellations.
As of 1:50 p.m. Tuesday, 2,995 U.S. flights were canceled and 3,634 were delayed nationwide, according to FlightAware, the real-time flight tracking website. Most of those cancelations are Southwest Airlines flights.
The U.S. Department of Transportation said it will look into flight cancellations by Southwest Airlines that have left travelers stranded at airports across the country amid an intense winter storm that has killed dozens of people, according to the Associated Press.
At CVG, six departures and six arrivals were canceled as of 1:50 p.m., according to the airport's website. All of those flights were Southwest flights and many were either arriving at or departing from Denver, Baltimore or Chicago-Midway International Airport.
The cancellations come as many continue their holiday travel.
Over the span of just two weeks, which ends Jan. 2, an estimated 400,000 travelers will have ventured into and out of CVG for the holidays, CVG spokesperson Mindy Kershner said.
Travelers are encouraged to visit CVG's website to check their flight status and download their airline's app to get real-time updates sent directly to their phones.
