800+ flights canceled out of Denver International Airport Thursday as winter storm brings more snow
Denver International Airport had the most canceled flights of any airport in the U.S. on Thursday. There were more than 800 canceled flights out of DIA on Thursday.
While the storm hasn't (yet) been felt at DEN nearly as much as other parts of the Front Range, our operations and maintenance teams have been busy pre-treating runways and deicing planes.

The biggest winter storm to hit Colorado's Front Range in at least 3 years will hammer the Denver area through Friday morning.
Three of the largest airline carriers in Colorado issued travel advisories in advance of the storm system. Many travelers made changes to their travel plans before the snow started falling on Wednesday night.
