Southwest Airlines, $LUV, confirmed all flights have been grounded across the U.S as of the morning.
This was a temporary problem.
“We have had to implement a ground stop as a result of intermittent issues that were experienced, and we should hopefully be resuming our operation as soon as possible,” a Southwest Airlines spokesperson said.
The Federal Aviation Administration gave Southwest the green light to resume flights an hour later — though planes heading into Dallas Love Field Airport were still grounded.
According to the FlightAware flight tracking website, some 2,500 Southwest flights — which make up around 30% of its schedule — experienced delays Tuesday morning.
