CrowdStrike Outage Clips Delta's Wings

The fallout from CrowdStrike's July 19th product update continued into this week and hit Delta Airlines particularly hard. The outage wreaked havoc on Delta's systems, forcing the cancellation of thousands of flights and stranding fliers around the globe. Sensor Tower data indicates that this led to surges in traffic across Delta's US digital platforms, a bump that has yet to subside. While rival airlines were able to right themselves in the first 48 hours of the outage, Delta's struggles were an outlier and prompted a strict rebuke from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and a potential federal investigation.
