Delta struggles to recover from cyber outage

(Reuters) -Delta Air Lines continued to struggle to restore its operations on Monday, three days after a global cyber outage snarled flights around the world, stranding thousands of customers across the country.

The Atlanta-based airline had canceled 778 flights, or about 20% of the scheduled total as of 1:30 p.m. EST on Monday, according to data from FlightAware. It accounted for about half of total flight cancellations.

The company's shares were down about 2% at $44.58 in mid-day trade. By contrast, disruptions at other major U.S. carriers had largely subsided.

A software update by global cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike triggered system problems for Microsoft customers, including many airlines, on Friday.
