      <title>Alaska Airlines grounds all flights after IT outage disrupts operations</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330425547/alaska-airlines-grounds-all-flights-after-it-outage-disrupts-operations</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alaska Airlines grounded all flights on Sunday evening after a major IT outage disrupted its operational systems, halting services across its network.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Seattle-based carrier confirmed the incident in a statement, saying the issue began around 8pm Pacific Time (0300 GMT Monday) and led to a temporary system-wide ground stop for both Alaska and Horizon Air flights. The airline did not disclose the exact nature of the outage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We requested a temporary, system-wide ground stop for Alaska and Horizon Air flights,” the company said, adding that the disruption would cause residual impacts throughout the night.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not yet commented on the matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the FAA’s status page confirmed that all destinations were affected by the ground stop impacting Alaska’s mainline aircraft and Horizon Air operations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alaska Air Group, the parent company of Alaska Airlines, operates a fleet of 238 Boeing 737 aircraft and 87 Embraer 175 jets, according to its official website.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This latest disruption comes shortly after the company-owned Hawaiian Airlines suffered a cyberattack in June, affecting some of its IT systems. Alaska Air Group is still assessing the financial fallout from that incident.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The grounding also follows a serious safety incident from January last year, when a door plug on a newly delivered Boeing 737 Max 9 detached mid-flight during an Alaska Airlines journey from Portland to Ontario, California.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All 171 passengers and six crew members survived the rapid decompression, but the incident led to the FAA grounding many Boeing 737-9 aircraft across U.S. airlines.&lt;/p&gt;
