"Alaska Airlines Resumes Flights Following Grounding Over Technical Issue"

Alaska Airlines and its regional carrier Horizon Air experienced a temporary halt in all departures due to an issue with the system that calculates weight and balance, which was later resolved, prompting the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to cancel the ground stop. The airline attributed the problem to an upgrade to the system. Residual flight delays are expected throughout the day, and the carrier is working to address passenger concerns. Shares of Alaska Air Group, the airline's owner, initially dipped but later recovered.
