Websites of several major airlines were short on Monday due to a problem with Google software that provides pricing and flight information for these sites.
Websites for American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines showed error messages when users searched for flights on Monday afternoon, but after about two hours of normal operation.
A Google spokesman confirmed that the company was working on a solution to the problem.
“Delta.com and the Fly Delta app are operating normally after experiencing an issue this afternoon that made it difficult for customers to purchase flights on delta.com, the Fly Delta app and through our booking center,” Delta said in said a statement. “The problem was caused by the failure of technology offered by Delta and several airlines. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.”
