Delta Air Lines Says Computers Down 'Everywhere'

Dow Jones News
LONDON—Delta Air Lines Inc. said Monday it has suffered a
computer outage through its system, leaving passengers unable to
check in and grounding its flights globally.
The No. 2 U.S. carrier by traffic said via Twitter that "our
systems are down everywhere."
Delta said in a statement it had "experienced a computer outage
that has impacted flights scheduled for this morning. Flights
awaiting departure are currently delayed. Flights en route are
operating normally."
The airline's shares were hit last week when the airline
reported a sharper than expected drop in passenger unit revenue for
July. Shares in Delta are down more than 25% this year amid a wider
slump in airline shares over concern of overcapacity.
Delta is advising travelers to check the status of their flights
this morning while the issue is being addressed.
