Delta resumes some service after hours of global outage

None

Delta Air Lines delayed or canceled hundreds of flights Monday after its computer systems crashed, stranding thousands of passengers on a busy travel day.

 

About six hours into the outage, the airline said that limited flights were resuming but that were delays and cancelations were continuing.

 

The Atlanta-based airline said that a power outage at a facility in Atlanta at around 2:30 am Eastern started the cascading meltdown.

 

Flights that were already in the air when the outage struck operated normally, but others were grounded. Over the next several hours, only a handful of flights took off instead of the usual hundreds, according to flight-tracking services.
