NEW YORK, July 21 (Reuters) - More than 1,200 flights
have been canceled within, into or out of the U.S. on Sunday,
led by cancellations in top carriers Delta Air Lines ( DAL ) and
United Airlines, according to data tracker
FlightAware.com, in the wake of Friday's global cyber outage.
Airlines are struggling to recover from the tech outage that
forced multiple carriers to ground flights on Friday.
United on Sunday said it had no further comment following an
update on Saturday. It said on Saturday that most of its
technology systems have been restored, but that it will continue
to see cancellations and delays this weekend. It also said it
had extended a travel waiver through Sunday for customers.
CNBC reported Sunday that Delta was offering its crews extra
pay to staff flights as it recovers from the outage.
A software update by global cybersecurity company
CrowdStrike ( CRWD ), one of the largest operators in the
industry, triggered the recent systems problems not just for
airlines but in other services as well, such as healthcare and
banking.
