Monday

Alaska Airlines is requesting a ground stop for its entire fleet because of an IT outage...
We requested a temporary, system-wide ground stop for Alaska and Horizon Air flights until the issue is resolved," the statement said, adding that there would be "residual impacts" to the airlines' operations throughout the evening.

It did not respond to BI's query about how many flights would be affected or whether any ongoing flights were interrupted.

Per its website, Alaska Airlines has a fleet of 238 Boeing 737 aircraft and 87 Embraer 175 aircraft.
