Delta Air Lines reportedly canceled about 100 flights on Sunday due to staff shortages and placed some customers in middle seats for the first time in a year.
“We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience, and the majority have been rebooked for the same travel day,” Delta said in a statement, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The airline said that it has had more than 1 million passengers in the past few days, the Journal-Constitution reports, the most it’s seen since the pandemic began.
Websites at three Delta hubs showed 33 cancelled flights arriving or departing, the newspaper notes, with 19 cancelled flights at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, 11 at Detroit’s Metropolitan Airport and three at the Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport.
Delta said it unblocked some middle seats Sunday and Monday but would continue keeping passengers out of those seats through the rest of the month.
