HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Dozens of Hawaii flights were canceled late Thursday after a global technology outage forced the FAA to issue a global ground stop for several major U.S. carriers.

United, Delta and American issued system-wide ground stops due to communication issues.

The state Department of Transportation said ground stops have impacted:

  • Six flights at Kahului Airport
  • Six flights at the Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport,
  • Nine flights at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport
  • and two flights at Lihue Airport.

Over 5,000 travelers were impacted.

DOT said it has increased security and extended concessions to accommodate the impacted passengers.

Anyone who has a flight on Friday should check with their airline for their flight status before going to the airport.

It is unclear how long the grounding will last.

The widespread technology outage has also caused a massive disruption across the globe, knocking banks and hospital systems offline and media outlets off air.
