A week since the storm hit, every airline but one has recovered. Overall we’re seeing around 3% of flights canceled, excluding the unacceptable performance of Southwest - which canceled 59% yesterday. USDOT is investigating and we are enforcing customer service standards.

We are prepared to face this kind of criticism for being too aggressive on airline performance and customer service. The truth is that USDOT has both the responsibility and the authority to support the traveling public, and we will continue to do so.

Southwest Airlines needs to do everything it takes to get stranded passengers to their destinations - and cover their expenses (like meals, hotel, ground transport) in the meantime. We’ll continue to hold them accountable with all tools available to USDOT.
