Good afternoon travelers. It is a busy day in the Air Traffic World. I have several delay programs to report that may be affecting travelers across North America throughout the day.
DFW, Dallas/Fort Worth International is experiencing delays of about 35 minutes due to thunderstorms in the area.
LAS, Las Vegas International is experiencing significant delays of around 1 hour and 45 minutes due to a lack of staffing. I do not have exact information about what staffing is creating the issue. I would guess that LAS has a limited number of Air Traffic Controllers due to COVID-19 callouts. This may be a similar situation that we saw at MDW just a few days ago.
SLC, Salt Lake City International is experiencing delays of about 50 minutes as the airport continues to recover from yesterday's earthquake in the city. The earthquake had a tremendous impact on operations yesterday as most flights into and out of SLC were cancelled. There are still many cancellations at SLC today. **Anyone who is flying into SLC will need to contact their airline about possible rescheduling. Your flight has likely been impacted. SLC is a major HUB for Delta airlines, it is likely that you will be impacted by the earthquake if you are flying Delta, even if you are not going through SLC. Contact the airline before travel!**
ORD, Chicago O'Hare International is experiencing delays of about 30 minutes due to low clouds in the area.
Air travel around the globe continues to be significantly impacted by the continued Coronavirus Pandemic. Before traveling, you should consider the health risks, closely monitor guidance and recommendations by health authorities at your destination and at home, and get up to date information from your airline about possible delays, cancellations, and changes in flight schedules.
