More than 40 flights canceled at Sea-Tac Airport

SEATTLE — More than 40 flights are canceled at Sea-Tac Airport early Thursday.

The flights are both arrivals and departures.  Others are delayed.

As of 6 a.m., 23 departures and 26 arrivals are canceled between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

On Tuesday, more than 80 flights were canceled.  Most were Alaska Airlines flights.

The spokeswoman for Alaska also said “several” deicing trucks broke down, and deicing at the gate-- a newer procedure at SeaTac-- did not go smoothly. 

The Seattle-based carrier says its adding more staff to de-ice planes, and would have more trucks on hand to do the job Thursday.

Passengers on all airlines should check their flight status.
