Delta continues to restore operations following an FAA-mandated nationwide ground stop that lasted more than four hours on Friday, Nov. 13. Customers traveling today should expect delays and additional schedule adjustments as we work to reposition flight crews and aircraft.
Taking care of customers remains our focus, and we continue to offer flexible rebooking options to change flights at no extra cost. Customers who have flexible travel plans are encouraged to move their flights to Monday, Nov. 16 or later.
If you are traveling on Saturday, please allow extra time and check the Delta app or delta.com for the latest flight status and travel information. Delta will provide customers with as much notice as possible about changes to flight schedules. When a cancellation does occur, Delta will automatically rebook customers to the next best itinerary.
