DALLAS —
Southwest Airlines grounded its entire fleet of aircraft preparing for departure late Friday due to a system-wide computer problem, but flights already in the air were not affected, a company spokesman said.
Brad Hawkins, spokesman for the Dallas-based airline, told The Associated Press the computer glitch impaired the airline's ability to do such things as conduct check-in, print boarding passes and monitor the weight of the aircraft. Some flights were on the taxiway and diverted back to the terminal after the glitch occurred around 11 p.m. ET Friday, he said.
