Delta Air Lines will return to normal operations by Thursday, according to the airline's CEO.
A Delta Air Lines jet leaves the gate, Friday, July 19, 2024, at Logan International Airport in Boston. The Atlanta-based carrier as of 8 a.m. ET had canceled just 47 of Wednesday’s flights - only 1% of its daily total - after scrapping 511 on Tuesday and 1,160 on Monday.
The U.S. Transportation Department opened an investigation Tuesday into the Delta disruptions, which affected more than 500,000 passengers and stranded people across the United States. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the investigation is focused on how the breakdown happened, why it had taken Delta so much longer than others to recover, and the level of Delta’s customer service resources.
Representative Rick Larsen, the top Democrat on the House Transportation Committee, said he will introduce legislation to boost the operational resilience of airlines in the near future.Senate Commerce Committee chair Maria Cantwell said she is concerned Delta is not complying with passenger rights obligations under a new law.
