All Alaska Airlines planes were grounded for about an hour Wednesday morning.
Planes were grounded at about 7:30 a.m. PT by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA issued a ground stop halting all departures for Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air, which is a regional airline owned by Alaska Air Group, according to Reuters.
The FAA advisory allowed flights for SkyWest, another regional air service provider, to continue.
“All Alaska mainline and subcarrier flights ground stopped,” the FAA wrote in a statement impacting all planes across the country flown by Alaska Airlines.
