Travelers stranded overnight at SLC airport by global tech outage

More than 100 flights were either delayed or canceled at Salt Lake City International Airport early Friday due to an information technology outage that affected several airlines.

The outage was caused by an issue with Crowdstrike, a tech company that provides cybersecurity services to organizations worldwide. The company issued a “faulty update” to computers running Microsoft Windows, according to the Associated Press.

The problem left hundreds of red-eye passengers stranded at the Salt Lake City airport until the airlines’ check-in systems were up and running again at about 8 a.m, airport spokesperson Nancy Volmer said. Volmer didn’t have a specific estimate for what time the outage began.
