“More than 1,600 have departed as the airline works diligently to normalize operations after Monday’s outage,” added the world’s second largest airline in a statement.
On Monday, the airline called off 1,000 flights around the world and experienced hundreds of delays for at least six hours.
The airline is currently “still operating in recovery mode” despite going back online a day prior, said Delta’s Senior Vice President for Operations Dave Holtz.
