A program called Aerodata, which monitors the weight and balance of planes, went down for a short time. The system was up and running by about 7:30 a.m., but airlines — including Southwest, United Airlines, JetBlue, Alaska and Delta — were all experiencing residual delays, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines Co both said on their social media accounts that they were experiencing a system-wide outage.
