IT issues trigger brief ground stop for Frontier Airlines flights, US FAA says

Updates with ground stop lifted

Jan 30 (Reuters) - IT issues at Frontier Airlines ULCC.O triggered a brief ground stop at all of the U.S. budget carrier's destinations on Thursday evening, according to an advisory from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

The ground stop was requested by the Denver-based airline at 2233 GMT, and the stop was canceled at 2254 GMT, according to the FAA.

Frontier confirmed that the ground stop had been lifted, and said its systems operations center experienced a short internet outage that caused the airline to initiate a brief ground stop.
