Those heading through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport should be prepared to deal with delays and cancellations again.
Shortly before 1 p.m. Saturday, 238 flights had been delayed and 70 had been canceled, according to FlightAware.com.
Most of the affected flights are operated by Delta, which is headquartered in Atlanta and has the highest number of arrivals and departures at the airport. The disruptions account for only a small percentage of the airline’s total flights to and from Atlanta.
“We are seeing continued impact across the system due to ongoing weather constraints,” a Delta spokesperson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The problems at the airport follow more than 1,000 delays and nearly 300 cancellations Friday, and another 1,000 delays with almost 200 cancellations on Thursday, caused by stormy weather.
According to the National Weather Service, more rain is expected Saturday. Scattered thunderstorms will begin developing around 1 p.m., at times bringing heavy downpours to the metro area and the south side near the airport.
