Delta cancels flights as icy weather approaches

St. Peter's Basilica
Many travelers' plans came to a halt Thursday as Delta canceled some flights at Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport  

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Delta Air Lines canceled about 20 percent, or about 100, of its flights into and out of Hartsfield International Airport Thursday in anticipation of inclement weather later in the day.

The forecast for the Atlanta area called for a mix of freezing rain or sleet, possibly changing to snow, by noon. Accumulation was expected to be minimal.

In addition, Delta said a continued labor action by its pilots was still having a "significant impact" on operations. The airline claims pilots are refusing to work overtime, a move it says has already resulted in hundreds of flights being canceled.
