Is Southwest Airlines experiencing a system outage?
SOUTHWEST Airlines flights were in limbo for a second consecutive day on June 15, 2021. The technical issues continued after the airline's entire fleet was grounded the day before. Southwest Airlines experienced a system outage on Tuesday, June 15, sparking huge delays. Some planes were grounded as the airline's social media team scrambled to address complaints on Twitter. "We are aware of system issues and are working quickly to resolve. We will share more info soon," the airline wrote on social media. Southwest wrote to one customer: "We're so sorry for the delay. Our team is working hard to get you on your way as quickly as possible. "Thank you for your patience." People first began complaining of grounded planes and being stranded on tarmacs from Phoenix to Las Vegas to Baltimore on the evening of June 14. "We are beginning to resume flight operations after our third-party weather data provider experienced intermittent performance issues earlier this evening preventing transmission of weather information that is required to safely operate our aircraft," a spokesperson for the airline said. "While Southwest Teams and the vendor worked to restore connectivity, we implemented a ground stop to protect the Safety of our Crews and Customers." However, customers were again complaining of delays the following day.
