Delta canceled more than 400 flights Tuesday morning as the airline tries to resume normal services after a recent global IT outage.
The Department of Transportation is investigating Delta Air Lines over flight cancellations related to a global outage caused by a faulty software update last week affecting businesses worldwide. U.S. DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Tuesday morning that the agency is probing Delta to make sure the company is "following the law and taking care of its passengers during continued widespread disruptions.
Buttigieg spoke to Delta CEO Ed Bastian on July 21 about the airline’s high number of cancellations since Friday. Buttigieg said his agency had received "hundreds of complaints" about Delta, and he expects the airline to provide hotels and meals for travelers who are delayed and to issue quick refunds to customers who don’t want to be rebooked on a later flight.
