Southwest Airlines flight cancellations are continuing to affect passengers at Orlando International Airport.
Southwest has canceled 13 inbound flights and 8 outbound flights Monday at Orlando International Airport.
That’s a slight improvement from the more than 70 flights the airline canceled at the airport on Sunday.
In a statement, Southwest Airlines says an air traffic controller staffing shortage caused nationwide delays starting over the weekend.
But in a conflicting statement, the Federal Aviation Authority says no air traffic staffing shortages had been reported.
Instead the FAA says, “Flight delays & cancellations occurred for a few hours Friday PM due to widespread severe weather, military training, & limited staffing in one area of the Jacksonville en route center.”
Greater Orlando Aviation Authority says it’s working with the air carrier to reschedule canceled flights.
