Customers across the U.S. are reporting airline computer issues at a number of airports.
A flood of tweets began to roll in a little after 11am ET (8am PT) of computer or network issues. Passengers on the ground said the issues related to the flight check-in systems and were unable to issue boarding passes.
A spokesperson for American Airlines confirmed the issue was with the Sabre flight reservation and booking system, used by several major airlines — including WestJet, Alaska Airlines and JetBlue, which are all reporting issues.
“Sabre is currently experiencing a technical issue that is impacting multiple carriers, including American Airlines,” said the American Airlines spokesperson. “Sabre is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and we apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.”
We reached out to several other airlines for comment and a status update on the situation and will report back once they come in. Sabre did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
