US investigates Delta after Crowdstrike computer breach | Video

Boston (US), Jul 23 (EFE/EPA) - The United States government, through the Department of Transportation (DOT), on Tuesday opened an investigation into the airline Delta due to “continued widespread disruptions” in its service, which began after the global computer failure of the software firm Crowdstrike in the Windows operating system last Friday.

Secretary of State for Transportation Pete Buttigieg announced the investigation on his X account “to ensure that the airline is following the law and cares about its passengers,” adding that he wants to “make sure that right is enforced.”

Delta canceled 451 flights on Tuesday alone, according to the Flight Radar website, a figure that far exceeds that of other airlines and is in addition to cancellations on Saturday (1,208), Sunday (1,386) and Monday (1,159). In total, more than 4,000 flights were canceled in four days.
