Tuesday, 18 October 20163 min read
The IT outage epidemic in the airline industry continues.
This time the glitch has been traced back to Sabre Corp systems which prevented customers of several airlines from booking flights.
Southwest Airlines, JetBlue and Virgin America reported issues with reserving flights late Monday.
In a Tweet Southwest said it affected domestic bookings only and airport operations and existing bookings weren’t impacted.
Sabre said the outage was caused by a pricing issue and managed to resolve the glitch several hours later.
"The technical issue that impacted some of our airline and travel agent customers has been resolved and our partners and subscribers are reporting that systems are back up and in recovery mode," it said in a statement.
