Alaska Airlines grounded its fleet due to a software outage that is affecting its operations.
Alaska Airlines grounded all its flights due to an undisclosed technical error affecting its entire system, the carrier announced early Monday.
“We are currently experiencing an IT outage that’s impacting our operations. We requested a temporary, system-wide ground stop until the issue is resolved,” the Seattle-based company said in a social media post.
The Federal Aviation Administration website indicated a ground stop for Alaska Airlines at all airports beginning shortly before 3 a.m. Monday due to an airline request.
Alaska Airlines maintains an all-Boeing mainline fleet, totaling approximately 238 Boeing 737 aircraft, supplemented by 87 regional Embraer E175 jets operated by Horizon Air and SkyWest under the Alaska banner.
