A New Jersey resident flying through Atlanta's airport describes how Friday's global IT outage is impacting her. Escalating disruptions continued hours after the technology company said it was gradually fixing an issue affecting access to Microsoft 365 apps and services, according to the Associated Press. Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike said that the issue believed to be behind the outage was not a security incident or cyberattack - and that a fix was on the way. The company said the problem occurred when it deployed a faulty update to computers running Microsoft Windows. Early Friday morning, American Airlines was working with CrowdStrike to resolve issues impacting their flights. As of 3 a.m., the airline reported they were able to safely re-establish their operations, the airline said. United Airlines also saw impacts from the computer outage. As of 3:20 a.m., the airline was resuming some flights but expected disruptions to continue throughout the day. United was offering a waiver to make it easier for customers to change their travel plans, either on united.com or through the United app. Video Source: CNN More local videos here: https://bit.ly/2Pa0d1l Subscribe to NEXT: http://bit.ly/2eP1GwI Stay connected: 9NEWS Website: http://www.9news.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ilike9news Twitter: https://twitter.com/9NEWS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/9newsdenver/ Download the 9NEWS App: https://www.9news.com/appredirect/ Sign up for the 9NEWSLETTER: https://www.9news.com/email 9NEWS (KUSA) is located in Denver, Colorado.
