More than 100 flights were canceled or delayed Tuesday morning at Denver International Airport as snow continues to fall across Colorado.

National Weather Service meteorologists said 1 1/2 inches of snow had accumulated at Denver International Airport and another 2 to 5 inches was expected by 11 p.m.

As of 8 a.m. Tuesday, 116 flights at DIA had been delayed and 14 more canceled, according to data from flight tracking software FlightAware.

Southwest delayed the most flights Tuesday morning with 61 flights, eclipsing 17 flights delayed by United and 26 delayed by SkyWest, the airline that operates United Express.

According to FlightAware, Southwest also took the top spot for the most canceled flights after removing seven flights from its schedule. United canceled three flights Tuesday and SkyWest and American Airlines canceled two.

AirCanada, Delta, British Airways, Frontier, Key Lime Air and Air France all delayed their flights at DIA on Tuesday.

Due to the snow and ice, airport officials also implemented a traffic management program for planes arriving at DIA, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The program causes some arriving flights to be delayed by an average of 41 minutes.
