   Southwest Airlines was hit with another system-wide computer   
   outage on Tuesday, following similar issues Monday night.   
      
   The airline asked the Federal Aviation Administration to ground   
   all of its flights in the contiguous US airspace over technology   
   issues.   
      
   In a statement to Insider, Southwest said it is working to get   
   operations back up and running.   
      
   "Southwest is in the process of resuming normal operations after   
   a brief pause in our flight activity resulting from intermittent   
   performance issues with our network connectivity Tuesday   
   afternoon. Our Teams are working quickly to minimize flight   
   disruptions and Customer impact," a spokesperson said.   
      
   The airline canceled roughly 500 flights during the outage, the   
   spokesperson said.   
      
   Multiple US airports also released statements notifying   
   travelers of the issues.   
      
   "Southwest Airlines is experiencing another multi-airport,   
   system-wide outage currently affecting their phone and check-in   
   systems," according to Orange County's John Wayne Airport.   
      
   The system outage comes after a similar issue delayed Southwest   
   flights by hours on Monday night. Southwest had to ground all   
   flights after a glitch meant that operators stopped receiving   
   vital weather information. A company spokesperson told Insider   
   at the time that its third-party weather data provider had   
   "experienced intermittent performance issues."
