Delta issues waiver for Atlanta travelers due to security event impact as it returns to normal operations

Due to a security event earlier Saturday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Delta has issued a travel waiver to assist customers who might be impacted. With this, the fare difference for customers will be waived when rebooked travel occurs on or before Nov. 23, 2021, in the same cabin of service as originally booked.

While Delta is coordinating with TSA and Atlanta airport officials to accommodate customers as quickly and safely as possible, the airline is also working to proactively accommodate customers who may have missed a flight. While cancellations are not expected as a result of this event, some delays are. The airline expects Sunday operations to start up as normally scheduled. Customers are encouraged to check their flight status on delta.com or the Fly Delta mobile app, and can get updates sent directly to their mobile device or by email.

We appreciate the rapid and professional response of the Atlanta Police Department and Atlanta Department of Aviation in responding to today’s event and their always-on commitment to the safety and security of our employees and customers.
