Delta Air Lines is preparing for potential disruptions at Atlanta and other Southeastern stations due to an incoming winter storm. Starting Friday, January 10, customers may encounter a mix of rain, sleet, and snow affecting operations across Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The airline's meteorology team expects wintry conditions throughout the day on January 10 with possible flurries continuing into January 11.
"The safety of Delta customers and employees is our primary focus as we manage any possible disruptions to our operation," stated Delta.
To accommodate passengers affected by the weather conditions, Delta has issued travel waivers for certain cities in the Southeast. This allows those with existing bookings more flexibility to change or cancel flights ahead of the storm. If flights are canceled or delays cause missed connections, Delta will attempt to rebook travelers on the next available itinerary.
