Thousands of delayed and canceled flights piled up Friday as airlines slowly resumed flying after a widespread global software meltdown, with disruptions set to cascade through the weekend.
Carriers such as United Airlines Holdings Inc., Delta Air Lines Inc. and American Airlines Group Inc. have resumed operations and issued travel waivers to help customers rebook trips.
