Delta Air Lines announced that flight operations have resumed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport following an extreme winter storm that shut down all five runways for over two hours on Friday. The severe weather caused widespread disruptions, leading to the cancellation of approximately 700 Delta flights across its network.
The airline warned that further adjustments to its flight schedule may be necessary as it navigates the ongoing recovery process. Airports throughout the Southeastern United States are also dealing with the aftermath of the storm, which brought travel to a halt in one of the busiest aviation regions in the country.
Delta emphasized that it is working to restore normal operations as quickly as possible. Travelers are advised to check their flight status and remain flexible, as weather-related challenges could lead to additional delays or cancellations over the weekend.
The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta hub, a critical node in Delta’s network, bore the brunt of the disruptions. However, as conditions improve, the airline expressed confidence in gradually returning to its regular schedule. Delta is prioritizing passenger safety and operational efficiency as it responds to one of the most significant weather-related disruptions of the season.
