Flight Delays and Cancellations Due to Tech Outage
Airlines Face Disruptions Worldwide
Major ultra-low cost airlines such as SunCountry, Allegiant Air, Frontier, and Spirit were among those experiencing significant disruptions due to a widespread technology outage that affected airlines globally.
Thousands of Flights Impacted
As of today, nearly 3,000 flights within or entering the United States have been canceled, leaving passengers stranded and disrupting travel plans. The outage has caused widespread delays, with airlines scrambling to contain the impact.
IT System Failure
The disruption was caused by a massive IT outage that affected several major U.S. airlines, including American and United. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that the outage impacted a critical system that processes flight plans and safety information, leading to flight delays and cancellations.
Gradual Recovery
The airline industry is slowly resuming service after the FAA system outage was resolved. However, the backlog of affected flights will likely take some time to clear, and passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest flight status information.
