Alaska Airlines has resumed operations following an undisclosed
technical error affecting its entire system for approximately
three hours, the company announced.
The carrier experienced an “IT outage that resulted in a
temporary, system-wide ground stop for Alaska Airlines and
Horizon Air flights" around 8 p.m. Pacific time Sunday. The stop
was lifted at 11 p.m., the Seattle-based company said in a
social media post.
“As we reposition our aircraft and crews, there will most likely
be residual impacts to our flights. It will take some time to
get our overall operations back to normal,” the post said.
The Federal Aviation Administration website had confirmed a
ground stop for all Alaska Airlines mainline and Horizon
aircraft, referring to an Alaska Airlines subsidiary.
The National Transportation Board last month credited the crew
of Alaska Airlines flight 1282 with the survival of passengers
when a door plug panel flew off the plane shortly after takeoff
on Jan. 5, 2024, leaving a hole that sucked objects out of the
cabin.
In September, Alaska Airlines said it grounded its flights in
Seattle briefly due to “significant disruptions” from an
unspecified technology problem that was resolved within hours.
