CNN —A significant Microsoft outage brought low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines and some competitors to a standstill for hours after a regulator halted departures.
“Our systems are currently impacted by a Microsoft outage, which is also affecting other companies,” Frontier said in a statement on its website.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Frontier asked it to pause the airline’s departures across the United States.
“Due to a global outage at a third party vendor, our booking, check-in, and trip-managing capabilities are temporarily unavailable,” SunCountry said on its site.
United, Southwest and American Airlines said they were not impacted by the outage.
