Southwest flight cancellations continue following tech disruption

Southwest canceled at least 300 additional flights Friday as the airline continued to deal with lingering disruptions following its systemwide technology breakdown Wednesday. The cancellations were primarily the result of displaced flight crews, Southwest said. “Our technology systems have been fully restored and we continue to focus on getting customers and their baggage to their destinations safely,” Southwest said. “Because this a network problem , it becomes very complicated,” a Southwest official said. Southwest has extended customer rebooking through Tuesday. <br/>
