DALLAS (AP) ? A spokesman for Southwest Airlines says planes are taking off again after a computer glitch grounded an estimated 250 flights.
Brad Hawkins tells The Associated Press that service resumed early Saturday, albeit far slower than usual because of lingering computer problems. Hawkins says some cancellations are expected due to the late hour, but he wasn't sure how many.
The system-wide computer problem affected the airline's ability to do such things as conduct check-in, print boarding passes and monitor the weight of the aircraft. Flights in the air were unaffected.
Hawkins says around 250 flights were grounded, some when they were on the taxiway preparing for takeoff. Most of the disrupted flights were out of West Coast airports.
The Dallas-based airline conducts on average 3,400 flights a day.
