Alaska Airlines said in the early hours of Oct. 24 that it had restored operations following a major technology outage that grounded flights across the United States and led to the cancellation of more than 229 flights.
“Alaska Airlines operations have been restored after a significant IT outage resulted in a system-wide ground stop of flights for Alaska and Horizon,” the carrier said in a statement at about 3:30 a.m. ET on Friday, adding that the ground stop was lifted about one hour earlier.
