Southwest Airlines endured a $75 million loss over widespread cancelations and delays earlier this month that spanned several days, the Dallas-based carrier announced Thursday.

Over the span of about a weekend, Southwest canceled around 2,000 flights, according to monitoring website FlightAware. While the firm blamed poor weather conditions and unspecified staffing issues on the cancelations, other major U.S. carriers appeared to operate normally.
