Baghdad Akamai, a content distribution network, or CDN, that helps transmit data over the Internet, confirmed on its website that it is investigating an “emerging problem with the Edge DNS service.”
The company said it expects to provide an update on the outage around 1 p.m. ET. and websites Delta Air Lines, British Airways, Capital One, Go Daddy Vanguard, UPS, LastPass, AT&T and Costco were among the websites loading slowly or showing “DNS failure”.
Some outages appear localized, which means that some users may be able to access sites while others may not.
Delta’s outage means customers can’t check in for flights or look up fares online, but the company said customers can check in with a Delta agent at the airport.
“We are experiencing temporary technical issues to serve our customers on delta.com and the Fly Delta mobile app,” a message on the Delta website said, “We apologize for the delay, and we are working to restore the site as soon as possible.”
