The Department of Transportation's internal watchdog said it is launching a probe into the spike in flight cancellations and delays.
The Office of the Inspector General audit will focus on the federal agency's role in these cancellations, rather than the airlines. In a memo, the IG said more than "30,000 of the delayed and cancelled flights were attributable to issues in the National Airspace System such as heavy traffic and air traffic control."
It identified disruptions that took place over the summer and during the Christmas holiday and pointed to staffing and weather as contributing factors. The IG wants to find out both the causes of the delays and cancellations as well as the accuracy of the government's data around flight disruptions.
