US closes probe into 2024 Delta Air Lines meltdown sparked by CrowdStrike outage June 15 (Reuters) - The Trump administration said on Monday it had closed an investigation, without seeking any penalties, into a July 2024 meltdown at Delta Air Lines DAL.N sparked by a global outage from CrowdStrike CRWD.O that disrupted the travel plans of 1.3 million customers.
The Biden administration opened a probe into the incident after other major carriers were able to resume normal operations much faster.
A U.S. Transportation Department spokesperson said the review showed that "Delta's passengers received prompt refunds, adequate baggage assistance, and appropriate assistance for passengers with disabilities."
