U.S. carrier Southwest Airlines <\/strong>expects to return to near-normal operations tomorrow, Friday, after a spate of cancellations on New Year’s Eve that is being investigated by Joe Biden’s administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of Thursday, nearly 2,400 flights operated by the low-cost airline were canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Dallas, Texas-based carrier has only 39 cancellations scheduled for Friday, according to a tally by the FlightAware portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We plan to return to normal operations on Friday, December 30 with minimal disruptions,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the message, Southwest urged its customers to fill out a form on its website to be reimbursed for flights, meals and hotels resulting from the cancellations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Thursday lashed out at Southwest’s “unacceptable behavior” and reminded Southwest that other airlines have already recovered from the ravages of the winter storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One week after the storm hit, all but one airline has recovered,” the official noted on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, he explained, Southwest is already “being investigated” and assured that the government is making the airline comply with its “customer service obligations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southwest, which has canceled more than 13,000 flights over the past week, attributes its collapse to hundreds of pilots and cabin crew being rendered inoperative by the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company’s chief commercial officer, Ryan Green, apologized on Wednesday night in a video for the disruption being suffered by its customers and promised to work “day and night” to resolve the chaos, reported EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
