Delta is safely resuming operations now that the FAA-mandated nationwide ground stop has been lifted. While flights have started departing, it will take time to reset our operation, including the positioning of aircraft and crews. We thank our customers for their understanding and our people for managing through this disruption.

Our focus remains on taking care of our customers, and we continue to offer [flexible options](https://www.delta.com/us/en/advisories/other-alerts/air-traffic-control-outage) for them to change their flights at no extra cost.

Customers should monitor their flight status on the Delta app or delta.com for the latest information. Delta will provide customers with as much notice as possible about changes to flight schedules. When a cancellation does occur, Delta automatically rebooks customers to the next best itinerary.

Delta teams are focused on taking care of our customers while an FAA-mandated nationwide air traffic control ground stop is currently in effect. No Delta flights are departing at this time and flights currently enroute will continue to their destinations. Customers should monitor their flight status on the Delta app or delta.com for the latest information.

We have [flexible options](https://www.delta.com/us/en/advisories/other-alerts/air-traffic-control-outage) in place allowing customers to change their flight at no extra cost.

Our goal is to safely resume departures when possible. We thank our customers for their understanding and our people for managing through the issue.
