Southwest flights at Tampa airport continue to see delays after a brief ground stop

If you’re planning on flying out of Tampa International Airport Tuesday and hitching a ride on a Southwest Airlines flight, you should check your flight status before heading to the airport.

TPA is still seeing an impact on Southwest flights after the airline asked the Federal Aviation Administration to briefly “pause” all of its departures due to “intermittent technology issues.” Within 30 minutes of the FAA tweeting about the pause, the government organization sent out an update saying the pause had been lifted.

“This morning @SouthwestAir experienced a technical issue with one of their internal systems,” the FAA tweeted. “At the airline’s request, the FAA paused Southwest’s departures as they resolved the issue. The pause has been lifted and their service has resumed.”
