Delta: first take off after the black out, but continue cancellations and delays – The Republic

MILAN – They share flights Delta, but the take-offs will be “limited” and then “cancellations and delays continue,” says the company affected in the morning to black out from Atlanta who has taken out of service the entire computer system of the company. At the expense were also the hundreds of passengers departing from Fiumicino to Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis and New York. The vector stars and stripes is still trying to limit the inconvenience to manually proceeding passenger check operations, but obviously the procedures are long and slow.

The announcement of Delta’s problems came early this morning directly from the United States , at first, however, it seemed to relate to them difficulties only the United States, however, the black out of the computer systems – caused by a voltage drop in Atlanta – hit the central brainy carrier shorting out all operations of global company. No flight is then started. “We hope that the problem will not last long,” wrote the company on Twitter by answering the questions of customers.

The planes already in the air is not affected, but thousands of passengers, reports NBC, they have remained grounded in the resorts of the world served by the airline: just think that the carrier operates 5 thousand flights a day. The long waits are recorded at the airport of Los Angeles and London’s Heathrow airport. Also blocked the flight to New York from Milan Malpensa.

The computer problems are not that rare in the airline industry, especially in the US. Last month, the same fate befell the low cost Southwest Airlines, while a year ago – in September – American Airlines had to suspend flights by three of its hub for technical problems. The problem, say the experts, are increasing because they grow more and more digital services offered by companies to their clients.
