``We are very pleased that our customers enjoyed record operational performance and the highest levels of security as they began their holiday travels,'' said Andy Studdert, the company's chief operating officer and executive vice president. ``On Saturday we operated our schedule without any cancellations. Then on Sunday, when our load factor rose to almost 90 percent, we repeated this strong performance operating our full schedule of 1,675 flights without a single cancellation.''
