The airline warned that ice accumulation is expected to impact Atlanta on Sunday, while significant snowfall is forecast across the northeastern United States beginning Sunday afternoon. Delta said these conditions would likely continue to disrupt flight operations.
Winter storm Fern has caused widespread disruption to air travel across the United States, forcing airlines to cancel flights, warn passengers of delays and issue travel waivers. Ice, snow and strong winds have affected major hubs and regional airports across the South, East and central parts of the country.
On Friday, Delta urged customers planning to travel over the weekend to reschedule their flights, cautioning that the storm could lead to extensive cancellations. The airline said passengers should expect disruptions across the Ohio and Tennessee valleys, including key airports such as Nashville and Raleigh–Durham.
Delta had already canceled flights at several airports across five states on Thursday, warning that slower-than-normal operations could trigger further delays and cancellations. The airline noted that the situation could also complicate rebooking during one of the busiest travel periods of the winter season.
Meanwhile, the National Weather Service has warned that a combination of freezing rain, sleet and snow could make travel dangerous across the Southeast, potentially causing power outages and tree damage. Heavier snowfall is expected farther north as the storm moves up the East Coast.
