Delta Air Lines Inc. and other carriers worked to get thousands of stranded passengers onto planes after a major electrical disruption in Atlanta crippled service at the world’s busiest hub, extending flight cancellations into a second day.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport still had 412 inbound and outbound cancellations on Monday after 1,183 the day before, according to FlightAware, a flight-tracking service. Delta, which dominates service at the airport, reported 400 scrubbed flights on Monday. Southwest Airlines Co. said it was operating its full schedule after scrapping 70 flights Sunday.
