Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air had to hit pause on all their flights Sunday night because their computer systems went down. Basically, no planes could take off until they figured out what was wrong—a major headache for travelers and the airline.

Editor’s Note: Tech outages like this aren’t just annoying—they ripple across schedules, stranding passengers and costing airlines big time. It’s a reminder of how reliant air travel is on systems running smoothly, and when they don’t, everything grinds to a halt. For anyone flying Alaska soon, keep an eye on updates—delays might not be over yet.
