Delta Cancels Mumbai Flights, Cargo Delayed
Several airlines, including Delta Air Lines, canceled flights to Mumbai in the aftermath of terrorist attacks targeting Western tourists that began on Wednesday. Other airlines like Lufthansa and Air France-KLM also canceled scheduled flights. However, it appears that as of Friday afternoon, all airlines are resuming international flights, although cargo shipments may still be delayed.
United Parcel Service Inc. said international service has been stopped temporarily, DHL said there would be a 48-hour delay and FedEx said its cargo business was also experiencing problems and expected delays.
Delta is also offering refunds or itinerary changes on its Web site for those customers flying to or from Mumbai between Nov. 26 and Dec. 3.
