    SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Traveler delays are continuing Monday as Delta works to recover from a global IT outage that stranded travelers Friday and over the weekend and disrupted systems that relied on the technology.

    Four days after the initial outage, travelers at San Diego International Airport and across the country are still experiencing delays.

    In total, 145 flights were delayed at SAN as of 5 p.m. Monday; 59 departing flights were delayed and 86 arriving flights were listed as delayed. Those delays gradually dwindled to 39 for departing flights and 73 for arriving flights as of 7 p.m.

    While Delta is still working to fully recover from the faulty CrowdStrike software update, the Associated Press reports most carriers aside from Delta have began to recover and were returning to nearly normal levels of service disruptions on Monday.

    However, the delays are impacting not just one carrier as flights at San Diego International Airport with Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Frontier Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines, Allegiant Air, British Airways, JetBlue, and Spirit Airlines all have some delays Monday.

    FOX 5/KUSI has reached out to several airlines that operate at SAN for confirmation on what is causing these delays and if they are more than normal.

    United Airlines CEO said in a statement, in part, obtained by FOX 5, “Today, our operation is back to normal and for the last 24 hours, our systems, tools and schedules have been stable – our recovery was quick (given the circumstances) but not immediate, and I want to thank our employees and our customers for helping to get us through the past 36 hours especially.”

    Delta has been very active on social media throughout the weekend as travelers continued to experience delays. Sunday night, the airline posted on X they are offering hotel, meal and ground transportation reimbursements to impacted customers.

    Delta has also extended travel waivers for impacted customers to cover July 19-23.

    The company on Monday said it would take “another couple days” before “the worst is clearly behind us,” AP reports .

    “We’ve got everyone around the company working around the clock to get this operation where it needs to be,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in a video message to employees on Monday, according to the airline. “Keep taking great care of our customers and each other in the coming days.”
