Alaska Airlines Recovers from Overnight IT Outage, Expect Residual Delays Today
Alaska Airlines and its regional subsidiary Horizon Air experienced significant flight disruptions early Monday morning following a widespread computer system outage. The airlines initiated a ground stop for all flights Sunday night due to issues with their information technology network, impacting operations across their entire system.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that the ground stop was lifted after 2 a.m. ET Monday, allowing flights to gradually resume. However, Alaska Airlines has cautioned passengers that despite the resolution of the core IT problem, there will be lingering effects and potential delays to their schedules throughout Monday. The airline had previously apologized for the inconvenience, advising ticket holders to check their flight status before traveling to the airport. The exact cause of the IT network failure has not yet been publicly disclosed.
