The airline has warned that there may be ongoing disruptions to its operations throughout the night, raising concerns about extensive travel delays.
Alaska Airlines temporarily grounded its entire fleet of planes on Sunday night, with passengers about to travel warned to check before leaving for the airport. The drastic action follows an unspecified technical system outage that has impacted their operations.
The 737 MAX is deployed on routes throughout North America and Hawaii, as well as international airports like Guam International Airport (GUM) and Tokyo Narita Airport (NRT). The 737 MAX helps United address the increasing demand for air travel, especially as the industry recovers from the pandemic, replacing older 737NGs and 757s.

Three passengers who sued Alaska Airlines for $1 billion after a door plug blew out midflight in 2024 recently settled with the airline and Boeing. The Boeing 737 MAX 9 jet was flying from Oregon’s Portland International Airport to Ontario, California, on Jan. 5, 2024, when the incident prompted an emergency landing.
Boeing logged more positive momentum in June, accelerating 737 deliveries to a pace not achieved since late 2023 and padding its backlog with orders for another 116 aircraft.
