Strong winds and microbursts around Denver International Airport caused the delay and cancellation of some flights this afternoon and evening.
United Airlines canceled about 60 flights in the afternoon and evening, a spokesman for the airline said.
Other airlines with reported cancellations included Frontier and American, DIA spokesman Chuck Cannon said.
Strong winds that kicked up in the afternoon and reports of microbursts caused delays of about five minutes, at first. Around 3:45, a longer hold was put on all flights of about 40 minutes because of the strong winds, Cannon said.
By 4:30 p.m., winds began dying down and service was returning to normal, Cannon said.
Travelers were urged to check with their airlines to ensure their flights were on time.
