Southwest Airlines said in a tweet it was dealing with 'intermittent technology issues.'
WASHINGTON — Southwest Airlines asked the Federal Aviation Administration to "pause" all of its departures Tuesday morning, according to a tweet from the FAA.
This comes amid reports that Southwest is dealing with “intermittent technology issues,” that has already delayed hundreds of flights nationwide on Tuesday.
It's not yet known what's the cause of Tuesday's issues and the airline did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The airline's official Twitter account responded to a tweet saying that they "should hopefully be resuming our operation as soon as possible."
Back in December, Southwest airlines suffered a massive breakdown that led to the cancelation of nearly 17,000 flights in 10 days before resuming a normal schedule.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
