(CNN) – More than 1,000 flights were canceled in the United States on Monday as wintry weather moved into the center of the country, with disruptions continuing through Tuesday.
So far, the worst affected airports are Dallas Love Field, Dallas-Fort Worth International, Austin-Bergstrom International, and Houston-Bush International Airports in Texas.
Two other western airports, Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and Denver International Airport in Colorado, are also experiencing significant delays.
As of 11 p.m. ET Monday, just over 1,100 flights in, in, or out of the United States had been cancelled, according to flight-tracking website FlightAware, with more than 5,000 delays. More than 900 flights have already been canceled on Tuesday.
Southwest Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment. As recently as Monday morning, CEO Bob Jordan was outlining fixes to prevent a repeat of the company’s Christmas travel meltdown.
American Airlines and regional carrier SkyWest have also experienced many delays and cancellations.
Weather exemptions for travelers
Dallas Love Field tweeted Monday that its team is “willing to treat and disinfect surfaces to allow for safe operations.” DFW was also preparing for bad weather.
Both airports urged travelers to check with their airlines for flight status before going to the airport.
