Southwest Airlines flights in and out of Portland running on time after

Prior to Monday morning’s news that the glitch had been resolved, Southwest had said it was still working to fix the problem. Airline officials said later that there was no longer a need to arrive early but that passengers might still want to print boarding passes at home in case of long lines at airport ticket counters.

“The airlines are operating with legacy systems that were designed when the airlines were a lot smaller than they are now”, he said. The airline used backup procedures across the country to check in passengers manually after the glitch on Sunday. (NYSE:LUV) faced a technical issue yesterday, which caused hundreds of flights to be delayed. Representatives for Southwest did not say what caused the problem. Lines were running smoothly and flights were departing and arriving without delay in San Jose, airport spokeswoman Rosemary Barnes said.

“We thank our Employees for their tireless efforts to take care of our Customers, and we appreciate our Customers’ patience as we work towards a solution”.

Fox Business shared that Emily Mitnick, who was flying to Detroit from Denver worldwide Airport, shared that she got there two hours early, but still missed her flight by about 15 minutes.

Furthermore, passengers with printed boarding passes were allowed to go, but those with passes on their cell phones were asked to wait in the line.

UPDATE (8:20 AM): Southwest reports that its computer glitch has been fixed, and while delays can still be expected, they will not be as serious as on Sunday.

After a hard Sunday for employees and Southwest customers, its technical systems powering the customer service area are performing normally.

On September 17, “connectivity issues” halted American Airlines flights for about two hours at three of its hubs.
