Hundreds of Southwest Airlines flights were delayed after technical problems that led the airline to temporarily stop their operations on Tuesday morning.
Southwest said that the flight delays were the result of “data connection problems resulting from a Firewall failure”, a problem that led to a detention of the letter.

Southwest had delayed 1,820 flights or 43% or its schedule axis or just after noon on Tuesday, FlightAware Chording. The airline has canceled only nine flights on Tuesday, according to FlightTAware. Southwest says his workers “worked quickly to minimize interruptions.”

The problems occur months after the airline was forced to cancel more than 16,700 flights between December 20 and 29, approximately half of its duration of the schedule in that period. The airline attributed the collapse partly to the changes in its personnel programming computer systems. Southwest last month announced an “action plan” to avoid another operational crisis.
Southwest described the last problem “intermittent technology problems” in a publication on social networks for customers. Several tok social networks to complain about delayed flights.
