Southwest apologizes for delays, cancellations, blames technology issues

4 months ago George T. Taft

FOX Business’ Jeff Flock reports on the letter the CEOs sent to President Biden calling on him to end the federal mask mandate on public transportation.

Southwest Airlines flights were delayed and canceled early Saturday morning. 

In a statement to Fox Business, the airline cited “intermittent performance issues following routine overnight maintenance of some of [its] backend technology.”

“We offer heartfelt apologies to our customers for any inconvenience, and gratitude to our employees who are working diligently to make it up to them,” the airline wrote. “We’ll continue to update customers whose journey with us today might be delayed as result of the now-resolved issues.”

Flight tracker FlightAware showed more than a thousand delayed flights on Southwest shortly after 9 a.m. ET, with 179 cancellations. 

Passengers reacted to the changes on social media, responding to a Friday April Fool’s Day tweet from Southwest.

“You want a joke? Bag fees,” the @SouthwestAir account said. 

“Kind of bad taste to make a Twitter joke when seemingly every flight today is delayed,” Fox 61 meteorologist Ryan Breton replied.

Others shared stories of lengthy customers service calls, double cancellations and exorbitant airfare. 

Airline ticket prices have risen due to increased travel and already sky-high fuel costs have been driven further up by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 

KPRC 2 in Houston, Texas reported Saturday that the source of delays was a “planned system outage” and that a spokesperson for Houston Airports told the station the airlines system was down for two hours, starting at 4 a.m. local time.
