Delta CEO Ed Bastian traveled to Paris for the opening of the Olympics amidst the airline's ongoing recovery efforts following a five-day meltdown that resulted in thousands of flight cancellations affecting approximately half a million customers.
The global tech outage that began last Friday led to the cancellation of nearly 8,000 Delta flights, with the company now aiming for minimal cancellations on Wednesday and a return to 'normal' service by Thursday. However, due to the busy summer travel season and limited available seats on flights, it may take several days for all affected passengers to reach their destinations, with many still awaiting the return of their luggage.
