At least 781 flights were delayed or canceled at Denver International Airport on Thursday as snow fell across metro Denver and Colorado’s eastern plains.

The average delay time for arriving flights was less than 15 minutes, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. A traffic management program was in effect, and FAA officials said this could delay some arriving flights and that departing flight schedules may be affected.

There were 772 delayed flights and nine cancellations at DIA at 4 p.m., according to Flight Aware. United Airlines reported the most delays with 267, followed by SkyWest with 206, and Southwest with 190.

“Deicing continues,” DIA spokesman Michael Konopasek said. “One runway is closed for treatment and cleaning.”
