Alaska Airlines has asked for a ground stop on all its main airplanes. This comes from the airline itself and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The FAA’s status page showed that this ground stop affects flights to all places for Alaska’s main airplanes.
“Ground stop all Alaska mainline and Horizon aircraft,” the FAA status page said on Sunday.
The airline said it asked for the ground stop after facing an IT problem on Sunday night.
“At approximately 8 p.m. Pacific on Sunday, Alaska Airlines experienced an IT outage that’s impacting our operations,” a spokesperson for the airline said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “We requested a temporary, system-wide ground stop for Alaska and Horizon Air flights until the issue is resolved.”
“We apologize to our guests for this inconvenience,” the spokesperson added. “There will be residual impacts to our operation throughout the evening. If you are traveling tonight, please check the status of your flight before leaving for the airport.”
A message at the top of the airline’s website also said it is dealing with a problem in its IT systems.
“We are experiencing issues with our IT systems,” the message reads. “We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve the issues.”
