Fog that rolled into the valley interfered with flights in and out of Salt Lake City on Sunday evening and Monday.
As of Monday evening, 58 flights in and out of the Salt Lake City International Airport were canceled, according to Nancy Volmer, the airport’s spokeswoman.
“Throughout the day, [the fog] came and went” before dissipating enough to stop disrupting flights at 5:30 p.m., Volmer said.
On Monday, four outbound flights were canceled, as were seven inbound flights, Volmer said. One flight was diverted to Provo, she said. On Sunday, 27 outbound flights and 20 inbound flights were canceled.
About 20 other flights heading into Salt Lake City on Sunday were diverted to Provo, St. George and airports in surrounding states, according to Volmer. About 140 flights were delayed because of fog, she said.
Most of the flights that were delayed or canceled because of fog were regional jets, which aren’t equipped to fly with low visibility, she said.
The majority of flights were unaffected. On average, 330 flights come in and out of the airport daily, she said.
Most airlines expect to be back on schedule Tuesday, she said.
