Delta Airlines recently cancelled hundreds of additional flights as it struggles to recover from a global system outage involving CrowdStrike and Microsoft. This follows an earlier disruption which grounded flights around the world, affecting thousands of passengers.
While the exact reason for the delay in recovery is not specified, it’s likely that the widespread nature of the issue, the complexity of the systems involved, and operational knock-on effects are contributing factors. If you are a passenger affected by these cancellations, Delta Airlines should provide you options for rebooking your flight or requesting a refund.
I’d recommend checking your flight status directly with Delta either through their website or their customer service hotline. It’s also a good idea to consider travel insurance covering flight cancellations for future travels.
