More than 1,200 flights were canceled on Saturday, with over 900 of them in the ******* States, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. On Friday, more than 5,000 flights were canceled worldwide, with about 3,400 in the U.S. Over 12,000 U.S. flights were delayed.

“I am proud of our teams across the globe who worked around the clock today to safely get our operation back on track and care for our customers after the most disruptive technology outage in history,” said ******* Airlines COO Toby Enqvist in a statement late Friday. “While we had to cancel and delay far more flights than we ever want to, we are poised to return to a near-normal operation on Saturday.” 

About 7% of *******’s mainline flights were canceled on Saturday, down from 22% on Friday, according to FlightAware data. Delta Air Lines canceled about 10% of its Saturday flights, an improvement from 31% a day earlier.

Airlines waived fare differences and fees for affected customers.
