Delta Cancels Over 300 Flights Across US Due to Extreme Summer Weather

News summary

Delta Air Lines has canceled and delayed hundreds of flights across its U.S. network, particularly at its hub, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, due to severe summer weather conditions including extreme heat, thunderstorms, and gusty winds. These proactive cancellations and delays, which have impacted over 300 flights nationwide, aim to prioritize passenger and crew safety amid heat indices reaching near 105°F and potential severe storms. The airline's response follows a recent incident where a Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam encountered significant turbulence, resulting in multiple injuries and hospitalizations. Weather forecasts predict continued thunderstorms and high winds in the Atlanta area, prompting ongoing disruptions. Delta continues to work closely with meteorology experts to mitigate risks and accommodate affected travelers. Passengers are advised to stay updated on flight status due to evolving weather conditions.
