Delta operations recovering; Trump blames airline for delays
"Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage,.....protesters and the tears" of Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who criticized the travel restrictions, Trump tweeted.
Just two weeks ago, Delta CEO Ed Bastian praised Trump, saying that he was "very excited" about the possibility that the new administration might upgrade airport facilities, reduce taxes and cut regulations.
Bastian also expressed hope that Trump might give a new airing to complaints by Delta, American Airlines and United Airlines that Middle Eastern competitors receive unfair subsidies from their governments.
Delta offered to let passengers booked on flights Monday to delay travel plans for a few days without incurring the usual fee — $200 for domestic flights — for changing a ticket.
