Last night, travelers at Denver International Airport experienced a bit of chaos due to a computer system outage at Frontier Airlines. This resulted in several delayed and canceled flights, causing frustration and confusion among passengers. According to a post on X, the outage was caused by a Microsoft issue, affecting various aspects such as booking, check-in, and access to boarding passes for some flights.
In light of this situation, many related articles emerged, including Frontier's current offers for travelers such as $29 fares to celebrate their 30th anniversary and a summer all-you-can-fly pass for those with a flexible schedule. However, the airline also faced some negative news recently, as they settled a discrimination lawsuit regarding pregnant and breastfeeding pilots. Additionally, a Frontier flight had to make a U-turn back to Denver due to fumes and a "mechanical situation." Another lawsuit has also been filed against the airline, alleging hidden baggage fees and false advertising.
As for the immediate impact of the system outage, 27 flights were canceled and 51 were delayed as of 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, according to FlightAware. Overall, there were 570 flight delays and 36 cancellations, with the majority occurring on United and Southwest airlines. The FAA also reported that one carrier had requested for departing flights to be held at the airport until at least 10 p.m., although they did not specify which one. This is an ongoing situation and updates may follow.
