The same Delta flight that was delayed 18 and a half hours on Wednesday was held up at least 19 hours the next day.
A Delta representative said Friday that a combination of staffing shortages and weather caused this latest massive delay:"Delta apologizes to customers on flight 975 operating from New York-JFK to Los Angeles, which was delayed Thursday night due to crew availability and weather affecting the Northeast airspace."
The airline said in an earlier statement about the flight's delay from Wednesday into Thursday:"Delta apologizes to customers on flight 975 operating from New York-JFK to Los Angeles, which was delayed last night due to weather affecting the Northeast airspace. Customers were offered water and snacks, pillows and blankets in the terminal before the flight departed at approximately 10am for Los Angeles Thursday morning.
