"We are now managing flight delays across our system, with a temporary ground stop in place for those flights that have not left the gate," spokesman Brad Hawkins said in an emailed statement.
Later on Wednesday afternoon, after the initial crash, Southwest was able to restore most of its systems, including its website.
Once our systems resume full functionality, we’re offering flexible accommodations for rebooking your travel. Please stay tuned for more.
