Delta Air Lines continued to cancel flights Wednesday morning but said normal flight operations could resume by Wednesday afternoon.
The airline had canceled more than 150 flights for Wednesday morning, part of its scramble to “reset” its operation following a Monday morning computer outage. The outage has snarled Delta’s flights ever since.
Flight-tracking service FlightAware showed an even-higher cancellation count for Delta, putting the airline's total of canceled flights at 223 as of 8:25 a.m. ET. Another 165 were delayed, according to FlightAware.
Wednesday’s continuing disruption follows two brutal days for Delta’s flight operations. On Monday, when the outage first hit, the airline grounded more than 1,000 flights and delayed another 3,000. Delta operates about 6,000 flights on a typical summertime day. On Tuesday, Delta canceled another 775 flights and delayed even more.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian apologized twice to customers, posting videos on the carrier’s website on both Monday and Tuesday.
