Delta cancels flights in five states, expands waivers due to Winter Storm Fern

Delta stated in a post to its news hub: “As the winter storm system moves east, current forecasts indicate significant snowfall in Oklahoma and accumulating ice throughout Northern Texas beginning Friday evening. Due to these expected conditions, flight cancelations are necessary at select airports in North Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee to ensure the safety of our customers and people. Delta automatically rebooks customers to the next best itinerary, and customers can make further changes via the Delta app and Delta.com. Delta is proactively adjusting staffing levels to ensure teams are in place to support our customers. This includes sending experts from cold weather hubs to support deicing and baggage teams at airports such as Atlanta, Birmingham, Huntsville, Knoxville and Nashville.”
