NEW YORK — Delta Airlines issued a ground stop on all domestic flights Tuesday due to a ‘technology issue,’ the company said.
Some customers said they cannot view their flight status or access boarding passes.
The airline issued the following brief statement: “Delta IT teams are working diligently to address a technology issue impacting some of our systems. We have issued a nationwide Delta groundstop as we work to bring systems back up as quickly as possible. We apologize to all customers for this inconvenience.”
