President Joe Biden on Tuesday said that his administration will investigate airlines following the mass cancelation of flights over the past weekend amid severe winter weather.

Numerous flights were canceled across the United States over the past weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday, according to tracking service FlightAware.com. Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines said that it would cancel more flights this week, drawing pushback from the Department of Transportation.
