Delta System Outage Halts Domestic Flights Nationwide

Technical issues within the Delta Air Lines computer system caused a nationwide hold on all domestic flights for more than an hour on Tuesday.

Many customers reported being unable to view their boarding pass or check the status of their flights.

The airline posted a statement on their website saying, “Delta IT teams are working diligently to address a technology issue impacting some of our systems. We have issued a Delta ground stop as we work to bring systems back up as quickly as possible. There has been no disruption or safety issue with any Delta flight currently in the air. We apologize to all customers for this inconvenience. “

The company also confirmed the outage was only affecting flights within the nation that were still grounded, and all international flights and those currently in the air were unaffected.
