Alaska Airlines Grounds All Flights After Major IT Outage Disrupts Operations. Alaska Airlines grounded all its flights on Sunday night after a major IT outage crippled its systems. The Seattle-based carrier confirmed the disruption began around 8 p.m. Pacific time, forcing a temporary, system-wide ground stop affecting both Alaska and Horizon Air flights. The airline did not specify the cause of the outage but warned of ongoing operational delays throughout the evening. The FAA's flight status page showed the grounding impacted all destinations, though the agency has yet to comment publicly. Alaska Air Group operates over 320 aircraft, including Boeing 737s and Embraer 175s. This latest disruption follows a cyberattack on Hawaiian Airlines in June—another carrier owned by Alaska Air Group—which is still assessing the financial damage. The full scope and cause of Sunday's outage remain unclear, but the incident marks another troubling tech failure for the aviation industry in 2025.
