Southwest Airlines resumed flights after temporarily asking the Federal Aviation Administration to "pause" all of its departures Tuesday morning as the airline worked to resolve an issue with one of their internal systems, the FAA said. Around 11:10 a.m. Eastern, the FAA said the pause had been lifted and Southwest's service has resumed. In a statement, the airline said it grounded flights nationwide so its teams could "work through data connection issues resulting from a firewall failure." "Early this morning, a vendor-supplied firewall went down and connection to some operational data was unexpectedly lost. Southwest Teams worked quickly to minimize flight disruptions," the airline said.
