The American airline Southwest Airlines has canceled many thousands of flights at Christmas, yesterday and today. That’s many more flights than those canceled by the competition. The US Department of Transportation is studying how this is possible.
The ministry made it known Chirping concerned about Southwest’s unacceptably high levels of cancellations and delays. “And the lack of fast service.”
A look at FlightAware learns that Southwest is canceling many thousands of flights, compared to a few dozen, for example, Delta Air Lines. According to Southwest, the cancellations are due to extreme winter weather.
“We are checking whether the cancellations were necessary,” the ministry said.
