FORT LAUDERDALE-HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) - A major computer outage that halted flights from multiple airlines across the nation has been resolved.

Frustrated travelers took to social media to ask the official accounts of the airlines why their flight was being put on hold, Monday.

“It’s horrible. Everyone has a place to go, right?” said traveler David Figueroa.

“I’m one of the lucky few,” traveler Len Puccio said. “I just got off of a cruise ship, and I’m just finding out everything right now.”

Both Delta and Southwest acknowledged that there was a system-wide outage.

In a tweet, Delta said, “A brief third-party technology issue prevented some Delta Connection flights from being dispatched on time this morning has been resolved.”

Other airlines affected include JetBlue, United Airlines, Spirit Airlines and Alaska Airlines.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced, just before 9 a.m., that the glitch was fixed.

Airlines were quick to respond with the good news.

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport announced that 55 flights were delayed because of the glitch.

At Miami International Airport, the glitch caused American Airlines to cancel two flights.

The Monday glitch was not a welcome one.

“I like giving the jokes, not getting the jokes,” traveler Dana Feinstein said, noting that the glitch had occurred on April Fool’s Day.

It’s unclear what caused the systems to experience technical issues. Airline officials advised travelers to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
