  • Delta is complying with a directive from the FAA and the U.S. Department of Transportation to reduce flights at 40 major U.S. airports beginning Friday, Nov 7. 

All planned FAA-directed flight cancellations for Nov. 7-9 have been completed.

We are providing additional flexibility to our customers traveling to, from or through the impacted markets to change, cancel or refund their flights, including Delta Main Basic fares, without penalty during this travel period. See travel waiver details here.

Visit delta.com or the Fly Delta app to check flight status or explore options.

Delta expects to operate the vast majority of our flights as scheduled, including all long-haul international service, and will work to minimize customer impact while keeping safety our top priority.

We will give customers as much notice as possible about any changes to their flights and apologize for any inconvenience these adjustments may cause.

These flight reductions are in response to air traffic control staffing shortages stemming from the ongoing government shutdown and are intended to maintain safety across the national airspace system.
