Delta cancels 300 flight over power outage

Delta has cancelled approximately 300 flights due to a power outage impacting Delta operations systemwide. As of 3:30pm WAT, Delta operated 800 of its nearly 6,000 scheduled flights. While systems are improving and flights are resuming, delays and cancellations continue.

A travel waiver is in effect:http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/traveling-with-us/advisories/system-outage.html.

The airline said customers heading to the airport should expect delays and cancellations.

“While inquiries are high and wait times are long, our customer service agents are doing everything they can to assist.”

There may also be some lag time in the display of accurate flight status at delta.com, the Fly Delta App and from Delta representatives on the phone and in airport.

“We apologize to customers who are affected by this issue, and our teams are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.”
