Operations at both Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field were significantly disrupted on Monday following the implementation of ground stops caused by severe storms and equipment outages.
The adverse weather conditions, coupled with technical issues, led to a temporary halt in flight activity at the two major Texas airports. Even as airports activated protocols to manage the disruptions, travelers encountered prolonged delays with departures and arrivals placed on hold until conditions improved. An estimated 100 flights were canceled and over 765 delayed from DFW airport. While Love Field faced around 69 cancellations and 123 delays.
