In addition to snow and ice on Friday, runway construction at DIA contributed to delays under a travel management plan for arriving flights, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. “This is causing some arriving flights to be delayed an average of 1 hour and 4 minutes,” an FAA bulletin stated.
DIA officials at noon said surface temperatures were above freezing, allowing snow to melt, but added that “the snowfall rate may overpower surface temperatures” and create slush that would have to be removed.
Airport officials advised travelers to check with airlines about delays, arrive inside DIA at least two hours before scheduled boarding times, and anticipate waiting for aircraft ice removal.
