Delta Air Lines has diverted about 40 flights due to thunderstorms in Atlanta that affected flights due to arrive at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Atlanta-based Delta said it “expects the convective weather to taper off by midmorning.”
The Federal Aviation Administration put in place a ground stop earlier Wednesday morning, and replaced it with a ground delay program later in the morning. Flights arriving in Atlanta were being delayed an average of 21 minutes at around 11:30 a.m., according to the FAA.
