Delta and United Airlines operating in the United States resumed some flights hours after a massive technology outage grounded operations in the early hours of Friday.
The New Diplomat reports that massive online outages disrupted travel, banking and news outlets worldwide on Friday.
Meanwhile, following the global outages, American Airlines said in a post on X that it has been able to “safely re-establish our operation” as of 5:00 am EST (0900 GMT) following a “technical issue with a vendor.”
United Airlines also said on X that “some flights are resuming” as it worked to restore full operations.
And Frontier reported that it was “gradually normalizing” and “in the process of resuming flight operations,” with its ground stop now lifted.
The New Diplomat reports that more than 1,040 US flights were cancelled, and approximately 1,700 were delayed as of Friday morning, according to tracking service FlightAware.
