Storms Prompt Flight Delays, Cancellations Across Texas

Ongoing storms are creating headaches for some travelers flying into or out of Texas Monday as Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) have experienced hundreds of flight cancellations and delays since Sunday.

According to flight-tracking website FlightAware.com, IAH has reported nearly 90 flight cancellations and 70-plus delays as of 8:30 a.m. local time (9:30 a.m. ET) Monday, with a majority being attributed to the severe weather.

Meanwhile, DFW has experienced more than 130 cancellations and nearly 125 delays as of Monday morning. DFW accounted for more than 600 of the nearly 1,200 cancellations within, into or out of the U.S. on Sunday.
