According to The Seattle Times, an IT outage has forced Alaska Airlines to ground all its flights.

The airline advises customers to:

Please check your flight status before leaving for the airport. A flexible travel policy is in place to support guests, and meal and travel accommodations are available. Visit the Help Center , while our contact center experiences longer than normal wait times. We appreciate your patience as operations return to normal.
