A crowd of people were left waiting at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona, after a tech issue caused “flight disruptions” for Southwest Airlines nationwide on Tuesday, June 15.

Brian Basten posted this footage on Tuesday that shows a crowd at Phoenix Sky Harbor near Gate D7, which serves Southwest.

Southwest said that a “system issue” created “flight disruptions” throughout the airline’s network. The Federal Aviation Administration issued a “temporary nationwide ground stop” as the airline worked to fix a reservation computer issue.

FlightAware reported more than 560 Southwest flights canceled and 1,800 delayed on June 15. This followed a day of similar delays, according to FlightAware, with more than 1,500 Southwest flights delayed and 45 canceled on June 14.
