Delta outage price tag: $100 million
Delta puts a dollar figure on the outage:
Delta Air Lines says the August computer outage that led to thousands of flight cancellations cost the company about $100 million in lost revenue. The Atlanta-based airline, whose annual revenue is about $40 billion, included the estimate in a monthly performance report Friday. The amount includes both cancellations — about 2,300 over four days — and recovery efforts, Delta said. Delta offered $200 travel vouchers to passengers whose flights were canceled or delayed for more than three hours during the outage, but it hasn’t said how many have sought the vouchers. |

If I book a EU->US refundable DL-operated flight departing Wednesday morning, what is the likelihood that it will be cancelled/delayed and that I will be eligible for EU 261 compensation ?

And thats why award travel mileage has been increased. Welcome to the delta zero sum game. They make a mistake and the customers end up paying for it anyway. But according to Delta it was Georgia powers fault?;) :D

Well got a personal call from DL customer services. As well as 20K miles immediately deposited 1 month ago, got 2 x 200$ travel vouchers and they are sending a check for my out of pocket 1 way car rental + gas.
I was not expecting so I am pleased. :) |
