Delta Offers Snow Credits to Customers

ATLANTA (AP) -- Delta Air Lines is offering thousands of passengers stranded in Atlanta by a rare snowstorm credits for future travel as an airport task force studies how to avoid future weather woes.


Delta's largest hub, Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport, was paralyzed Jan. 2-3 by a winter storm that dumped up to 8 inches of snow in parts of Georgia. The airport received nearly 5 inches and flights stacked up quickly as de-icing crews were unable to keep pace with the weather.

Some passengers were stuck on planes for up to 10 hours during the snow and more than 4,000 people were forced to spend the night in the airport.
