Delta passengers can count on "minimal" flight cancellations Wednesday, CEO Ed Bastian says

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said the carrier is making progress restoring operations, noting he expects "minimal" flight cancellations on Wednesday after five days of disruptions caused by the CrowdStrike software outage.

As of Wednesday morning, Delta had cancelled 47 flights, or roughly 1% its scheduled daily trips, according to tracking service FlightAware. Roughly 320 Delta flights were delayed. 

Those numbers are down sharply from the preceding five days, when a botched technology update last week by CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity company whose software is widely used in Microsoft Windows computers, forced Delta to scrap thousands of flights.
