Customers across the U.S. reported airline computer issues at a number of airports.
Passengers on the ground said the issues related to the flight check-in systems and were unable to issue boarding passes.
A spokesperson for American Airlines confirmed the issue was with the Sabre flight reservation and booking system, used by several major airlines — including WestJet, Alaska Airlines and JetBlue, all of which had passengers reporting issues.
The airline spokesperson told that the “brief technical issue” was resolved after 11:40am ET, and apologized to customers.
JetBlue later confirmed it was recovering from the outage.
Sabre is one of a handful of flight reservation systems used by airlines around the world. Sabre, developed by Texas-based Sabre Holdings, provides service to more than 400 airlines and 220,000 hotels.
