Southwest Airlines passengers are reporting that the airline’s flights have all been grounded due to an IT glitch — seemingly impacting airports across the country.
In social media posts, travelers from Colorado to Florida say they are being held back over the issue, which is reportedly affecting the company’s entire system.
The nationwide halt has been confirmed by the carrier, who blames the interruptions on “intermittent technology issues.”
The heist has lasted more than an hour so far and could lead to hundreds – and possibly thousands – of fleeing.
The incident is still evolving and comes after a similar system failure canceled more than 16,000 Southwest flights in January — and beyond six high-profile near misses so far this year.
