Delta teams across the airline’s global network continue to focus on supporting customers following the federal government’s shutdown and recent reopening of Caribbean airspace.
To supplement normal operations and assist impacted customers, Delta has proactively added more than 2,600 seats through extra flights across its Caribbean network for Monday, Jan. 5. Delta teams are working to ensure all affected customers are reaccommodated by Tuesday, Jan. 6.
Some delays in Caribbean markets could occur Monday due to increased airline capacity, however Delta’s teams are coordinating to support customers with tight hub connections.
Delta is recommending that customers with confirmed or rebooked tickets for Monday arrive at least three hours early to allow for additional traffic, while customers without confirmed tickets should avoid the airport until they have been rebooked.
Delta’s travel waiver remains effective for customers traveling to or from the 13 airports through Jan. 6.
