Southwest Airlines was hit with another system-wide computer 
outage on Tuesday, following similar issues Monday night.

The airline asked the Federal Aviation Administration to ground 
all of its flights in the contiguous US airspace over technology 
issues.

In a statement to Insider, Southwest said it is working to get 
operations back up and running.

"Southwest is in the process of resuming normal operations after 
a brief pause in our flight activity resulting from intermittent 
performance issues with our network connectivity Tuesday 
afternoon. Our Teams are working quickly to minimize flight 
disruptions and Customer impact," a spokesperson said.

The airline canceled roughly 500 flights during the outage, the 
spokesperson said.

Multiple US airports also released statements notifying 
travelers of the issues.

"Southwest Airlines is experiencing another multi-airport, 
system-wide outage currently affecting their phone and check-in 
systems," according to Orange County's John Wayne Airport.

The system outage comes after a similar issue delayed Southwest 
flights by hours on Monday night. Southwest had to ground all 
flights after a glitch meant that operators stopped receiving 
vital weather information. A company spokesperson told Insider 
at the time that its third-party weather data provider had 
"experienced intermittent performance issues."
