As of 9:20 a.m., 145 flights headed in and out of DIA had been delayed, and two had been canceled, according to flight tracking software .

Southwest delayed 67 flights, followed by 36 from United and 27 from SkyWest, a regional airline that operates United Express. Eight other airlines delayed one to five flights.

British Airways canceled both of its flights Thursday — one headed from Denver to London and one making the return trip.
