Alaska Airlines Faces IT Outage, Causes Major Disruption in Seattle

Alaska Airlines recently encountered an IT outage that significantly impacted its operations, leading to delayed flights and a two-hour ground stop in Seattle.

While the airline announced the issue had been resolved, passengers should anticipate residual effects on flight schedules.

Passengers began reporting difficulties accessing the airline's website and app on Sunday evening, prompting Alaska Airlines to confirm the outage on its X account.

The airline clarified that this was not a cyber-attack but a certificate issue that impacted several systems. This disruption comes after a similar incident in April.

During that time, Alaska Airlines was forced to halt all flights due to a system upgrade affecting its weight and balance calculations.

Travelers are encouraged to stay informed about their flight status as the airline recovers from the recent disruptions.
