UPDATE – As of 8:40 a.m. eastern time the Delta ground stop has been lifted and limited departures are resuming . Cancellations and delays continue. Customers heading to the airport should expect delays and cancellations.

According to Delta Airlines all flights were delays at 5:05 am this morning due to a power failure in Atlanta that resulted in computer outages and operations worldwide. All flight status systems, including airport screens were showing incorrect flight times. Customers heading to the airport should expect some delays.

While inquiries are high and wait times are long, our customer service agents are doing everything they can to assist. There may also be some lag time in the display of accurate flight status at delta.com, the Fly Delta App and from Delta representatives on the phone and in airport.

Before you head out check your flight status at Nashville International Airport here.
