Air passengers booked to travel on Delta are experiencing a second day of delays .. as the airline recovers from what it says is a “major system-wide power outage.”

Delta said it had cancelled 530 flights on Tuesday. That’s more than double an earlier statement of 250.

It said it would offer compensation and vouchers to customers affected by significant delays or cancellations.

On Monday 1,000 flights were cancelled as a result of the computer glitch, stranding passengers around the globe.
