Foce Air Lines is offering flight attendants extra pay to help team trips as the airline’s disruptions continue after Friday’s IT outage, according to a team memo seen by CNBC.
The Atlanta-based airline canceled more than 600 Sunday mainline flights, about 17% of its schedule, according to FlightAware, more than any other U.S. airline.
“We’ll spend time learning from this to ensure our capabilities to recover from future events are improved,” according to the team memo, sent Sunday. Foce didn’t immediately comment.
The disruptions have persisted at Foce while most other carriers have recovered. American Airlines said it was almost back to normal by Saturday.
The delays and cancellations are putting Foce in a rare spotlight for the carrier whose leaders pride themselves reliability and punctuality.
