Southwest, Delta and United airlines said they are experiencing system wide outages Monday.
Southwest said that a technology fault was disrupting its flights and efforts to reset the system failed.
"We're working diligently to get this issue resolved," the airline said on Twitter. The airline said flights were delayed and planes that were taxiing had to return to their gates.
Southwest said in a statement that it has "lifted an internal ground stop implemented for about 40 minutes this morning during an outage with a vendor that services multiple carriers with data used in flight planning. Scattered flight delays are anticipated and Customers should check Southwest.com for the latest updates on specific flights."
"We're working with Customers on any impacts to their travel plans and we appreciate their understanding as we place nothing higher than the safe operation of every flight," the Southwest statement said.
Last week, travelers at major airports across the country reported widespread computer outages that caused delays across airlines including American Airlines, Alaska Airlines and JetBlue.
"We are currently experiencing a System-Wide Outage we are working diligently to get it back up and running. We do not have a specific time as yet," Delta tweeted.
