United spokesman Mike Trevino said he didn’t know if any Sunday arrivals were canceled because of the hailstorm, which struck Wednesday. Denver International Airport’s website listed about 20 United arrivals that were canceled at one point Sunday, but it wasn’t known how many were attributed to the hailstorm.
All 13 departures canceled on Sunday were United Express regional flights, Trevino said. A 14th United Express flight was canceled for reasons unrelated to the storm, he said.
Eleven United planes remained out of service for inspection, Trevino said. He didn’t know how many were damaged.
United said it had canceled more than 100 Denver flights on Thursday and Friday because of the hail inspections.
Frontier Airlines said earlier it had canceled a total of 96 flights from Saturday through Monday because 18 of its 59 Airbus aircraft and two of its turboprops were damaged by hail.
Frontier officials didn’t return calls on Sunday.
The Denver airport website showed about 37 Frontier flights to and from Denver were canceled at one point Sunday, but the reasons weren’t listed.
Southwest Airlines, another big carrier in Denver, said three of its planes were damaged by hail, but with 550 planes in its fleet, it didn’t have to delay or cancel flights.
