NEW YORK — At least five major airlines experienced major computer outages early Monday, causing travel headaches around the country.
Southwest, United, JetBlue, Alaska and Delta were all impacted, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The delays appeared to take place all over the country.
“Several airlines are experiencing issues with a flight planning weight and balance program called Aerodata,” the FAA said in a statement. “Mainline operations and regional operations are impacted to varying degrees.”
The FAA said later Monday morning that the issue “has been resolved.”
An official with Delta Air Lines had apologized to a passenger stuck at Raleigh-Durham International Airport early Monday, tweeting that “we are currently experiencing a System-Wide Outage we are working diligently to get it back up and running.”
A Southwest official tweeted early Monday to a passenger that “this is affecting us on a system-wide level, so it’s hard for us to determine any info about your connecting flight until everything is back up and running. Apologies for the inconvenience.”
