COMPUTER OUTAGE TO COST ALASKA AIRLINES IN COMPENSATION

Alaska Airline passengers are still waiting for the airline to get them to their destination after weekend computer problems disrupted travel for more than 12,000 customers.

Some 150 flights on Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air were cancelled on Saturday when an electrical transformer blew and knocked out the company’s computer system for creating flight plans. Technicians had been trying to install a backup power supply for the system. Some were told they may have to wait until today to get to their destination.

Alaska Airlines said it will be compensating people who were delayed by the computer problems.
