Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant said teams are working expeditiously to fix a systems outage that is causing departure delays for flights on the ground.
“Flights in the air remain unaffected,” Durrant said.
Similar problems were reported last August, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.
The airline apologized through its spokesman and asks those seeking updates to visit news.delta.com.
