With Hurricane Irene poised to rake the East Coast, Frontier Airlines has added five flights today to get people out of the area and canceled dozens more that were scheduled for today, Sunday and Monday.
Southwest Airlines will temporarily suspend service to and from Norfolk, Va., beginning at 9:30 a.m. EDT today. About two dozen flights will be affected.
Norfolk service will resume based on “the airport and city infrastructure,” said a statement from Southwest, Denver’s second-largest carrier.
JetBlue Airways, which has three daily flights to Boston and New York from Denver, was the first airline to announce it would cancel a large portion of its flights in and out of 13 East Coast airports because of the hurricane. Nearly 900 JetBlue flights from today through Monday are on the cancellation list.
American Airlines, which has about two dozen daily flights from Denver, has canceled about 130 flights involving East Coast cities.
