Delta Air Lines faced continued challenges as it canceled hundreds more flights on Tuesday morning, marking the fifth day of disruptions following a global tech outage. The Atlanta-based airline canceled 383 flights, with its regional carrier, Endeavor Air, canceling an additional 18 flights. These cancellations added to the 1,250 flights canceled on Monday and the 4,500 flights canceled from Friday through Sunday.
The root of the issues can be traced back to a software update by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike that caused Windows software to crash, leading to widespread problems in the airline industry last Friday. While most airlines managed to recover over the weekend, Delta struggled to resolve issues with its crew tracking system, resulting in a shortage of pilots and flight attendants.
