US: Airline technology supplier says outage has been fixed
Travel-technology provider Sabre said a glitch that prevented some airline travellers from checking in for flights Tuesday was caused by a problem at one of its network suppliers. A Sabre spokeswoman said the issue affected airlines that connect with Sabre through CenturyLink's network. Sabre declined to identify the affected airlines. Some JetBlue customers complained they were unable to check in for flights. A CenturyLink spokeswoman said activity during scheduled maintenance caused the disruption, which lasted for about 2 hours. She said the company was reviewing the incident to add safeguards that could reduce or eliminate future incidents. FlightAware said 2,400 US flights had been delayed by early evening on the East Coast, although it's unclear how many are related to the Sabre failure. <br/>
