If you were flying last week, your travel plans might have been affected by an I.T. outage that caused chaos across various industries and critical services globally. On July 19, nearly 14% of scheduled U.S. flights were canceled and 56% were delayed, as reported by Cirium, an aviation data company. In the aftermath, airlines like Delta Air Lines continued to face challenges, leading to ongoing cancellations and delays.
Passengers impacted by these disruptions were likely eligible for compensation and assistance from the airlines. This could include refunds, hotel stays, or meal vouchers. If you were caught up in the turmoil, share your experience regarding the support you received from the airlines.
