A nationwide ground stop was issued for Alaska Airlines on Wednesday as the carrier while it worked to resolve an issue with its weight and balance system.

The Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday lifted a temporary nationwide ground stop advisory for all Alaska Airlines flights. The FAA said in a statement that "operations are normal" after Alaska Airlines asked the agency to pause departures nationwide as it worked to resolve an issue with its weight and balance system "as quickly as possible." Alaska said it's already begun releasing flights and that "residual delays" are expected throughout Wednesday.

SkyWest flights were excluded from the advisory. SkyWest and Horizon Air are both regional carriers. "This morning we experienced an issue while performing an upgrade to the system that calculates our weight and balance," Alaska said in a statement. Alaska is advising travelers to check the status of their flights online or through the carrier's app before heading to the airport.
