All domestic Delta airlines flights were grounded Sunday due to “automation issues”, the FAA said.
International flights were not affected.
The cause of the disruption was unknown.
Official airline statement: “Delta teams are expeditiously working to fix a systems outage that has resulted in departure delays for flights on the ground. Flights in the air remain unaffected. Delta apologizes to customers for the inconvenience.”
FAA notice: ‘GROUND STOP DAL AND SUB CARRIERS TO DOMESTIC DESTINATIONS. INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT ARE EXEMPT. THIS IS DUE TO AUTOMATION ISSUES WITH DAL. UPDATE AT 0030Z.’
