US Airways Group said on Monday its operations were getting back to normal after last week's winter storm in the US Northeast stranded thousands of passengers. "We were able to reaccommodate the majority of our passengers yesterday," said airline spokeswoman Valerie Wunder.
The airline worked throughout the weekend to find seats for the 100,000 passengers whose flights were grounded by the bad weather. On Friday, a late-winter storm hit the Northeast's biggest cities.
US Airways, the No 7 US carrier with hubs in Philadelphia and Charlotte, was hit especially hard. Big US airlines and their affiliates cancelled more than 2,000 flights on Friday.
"This was a storm that affected the entire airline industry," Wunder said. She did not know how many passengers remained stranded. US Airways reported "short lines" in Philadelphia and Charlotte after it moved extra flights to those locations on Sunday. Many of the travellers were on their way to Caribbean and Florida vacation destinations.
Airlines, hoping to avert the type of storm-related service meltdown that stung JetBlue Airways in New York a month ago, began cancelling flights on Thursday.
Weather was mostly clear on Monday in the eastern United States. Shares of US Airways were up 86 cents, or 1.9 percent, to at $47.25 on the New York Stock Exchange in late morning trading.
