System Issues Halt Southwest Airlines Flights Across US

Southwest Airlines passengers across the United States faced long airport lines and suspended flights on June 14 and 15, with the airline reporting system issues resulting in network-wide flight disruptions.

According to an FAA advisory on June 15, all Southwest flights in the US airspace had been stopped due to “technology issues.”

Footage captured by Book of Vegas shows large crowds in McCarran International Airport near Las Vegas, Nevada.

More than 1,500 Southwest flights were delayed on June 14, according to FlightAware, with 45 canceled. On June 15, as of the late afternoon, FlightAware reported more than 480 Southwest flights canceled and more than 1,200 delayed.
