It was not clear if the network disruption reported by FedEx were related to outages at Microsoft and cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.
"Contingency plans have been activated to mitigate impacts but potential delays are possible for package deliveries with a delivery commitment of July 19," FedEx said.Peer United Parcel Service also warned of potential delivery delays and added that contingency plans were in place. Railroad operator Union Pacific Corp said the CrowdStrike software outage had "varying levels of impact" across its network but added that backup protocols helped it communicate with its teams and dispatchers.
