Thousands of Southwest Airlines passengers remained stranded Tuesday across Southern California as the airline's winter woes worsened, leading to canceled and delayed flights throughout the nation.
As of midday Tuesday, the airline had canceled nearly 2,600 flights nationally, including many from Los Angeles International Airport and other airfields across Southern California, according the tracking website FlightAware. At LAX, a total of 61 departing flights from all airlines had been canceled as of Tuesday morning, with 94 others delayed.
As of midday Tuesday, 52 departing flights had been canceled at John Wayne Airport -- including airlines other than Southwest -- as were 42 flights from Burbank and 32 from Long Beach. "All of us on the board are very concerned at the high number of flights canceled," Foley said."And all of the complaints we're getting. We think Southwest needs to step it up a notch as it relates to travel in California or western state travel."
Officials with the U.S. Department of Transportation issued a statement calling the Southwest situation"unacceptable."
