On Monday, Delta cancelled 121 flights, or 4% of its scheduled routes.

The airline announced that it would discontinue over 100 daily flights, mostly to and from the US and Latin America, from July 1 through August 7.

“More than any time in our history, the various factors currently impacting our operation weather and air traffic control, vendor staffing, increased COVID case rates contributing to higher-than-planned unscheduled absences in some work groups are resulting in an operation that isn’t consistently up to the standards Delta has set for the JetBlue announced separately that it would scale back its summer schedule by 8% to 10%.
