LAX anticipates wave of Sunday travelers; dozens of flights canceled this weekend

Dozens of flights have been canceled and hundreds more delayed this Memorial Day weekend at Los Angeles International Airport, where as many as 200,000 passengers are expected to travel today.

Twenty flights had been canceled Saturday at LAX and an additional 216 delayed, according to the FlightAware tracking website. As of Sunday morning, five more flights had been canceled, but the vast majority of flights were on time, according to LAX spokesman Heath Montgomery.

Delta Airlines made up the biggest number of canceled flights Saturday at LAX, according to FlightAware. The airline has faulted a long list of issues for delays and cancellations, including rising rates of coronavirus infections that are pulling employees away from work.
