SEATTLE (AP) – A computer problem is causing significant delays for Alaska Airlines flights.

Airline spokeswoman Bobbie Egan says the problem is with a data connection. The airline hasn’t been able to check in passengers since 7:40 a.m. Monday. Egan says technicians are trying to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, there are long lines of passengers at Sea-Tac Airport where Alaska is the biggest carrier.
