Delta Air Lines is currently under investigation by U.S. regulators regarding its handling of passengers affected by canceled and delayed flights following a global technology outage. The investigation was announced by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to ensure that the airline is complying with regulations and providing adequate care to its passengers during the ongoing disruptions.
Delta has faced significant challenges in its operations, with more than 400 flights canceled by midmorning on a recent Tuesday, representing a substantial portion of all flight cancellations in the United States. The airline has been grappling with the aftermath of a global technology outage that originated from a faulty software upgrade by cybersecurity company CrowdStrike to over 8 million Microsoft computers worldwide.
