@bloombergpolitics: #Southwest #Airlines temporarily halted #flights nationwide as it grappled with “intermittent technology issues,” just four months after an operations meltdown drew heavy scrutiny to the budget carrier. While the official ground stop order issued by the US Federal Aviation Administration lasted just 16 minutes, the disruptions emerged earlier and the impact to the airline's schedule is likely to linger throughout the day. Southwest’s delays swelled to 1,762, or 42% of its Tuesday schedule as of 11:52 a.m. New York time. #travel #airtravel #news
