Southwest Airlines late Monday extended an apology to customers and employees for mass flight cancellations the company has blamed on the weather.

Southwest canceled about 2,000 flights over the weekend and axed hundreds more on Oct. 11. Early Tuesday, 87 flights, or 2 percent of the scheduled flights, were cancelled, with another 5 percent delayed, according to data from FlightAware.
