More than 200 flights were canceled or delayed at Denver International Airport on Sunday as airlines continued to recover from a global technology outage that began Thursday.
There were 86 canceled flights and 181 delayed flights at DIA as of 10:30 a.m., according to flight tracking website FlightAware.
Of the 86 canceled flights, 65 were on United, 15 on Delta and six on Frontier. Most of the delays were on Southwest, United and Delta.
The initial outage caused more than 1,200 canceled and delayed flights at DIA on Friday and more than 800 on Saturday.
Updates from United, Frontier and Delta airlines posted Friday said the companies were recovering from the Crowdstrike software outage, which also impacted the Regional Transportation District, Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles and some police and fire agencies.
Some passengers reported airlines only offering flight credits to passengers whose flights were canceled because of the outage, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a post on X.
“Let me be clear — you are entitled to get your money back promptly if your flight is canceled and you don’t take a rebooking,” Buttigieg said. “If your airline is automatically giving you credits but you prefer cash, you can tell them you want a refund – and let us know if they fail to provide one.”
Passenger complaints can be filed with the Department of Transportation online.
