Colorado Springs Airport:
The global technology outage grounded some flights at the Colorado Springs Airport Friday morning. The airport spokesperson tells News 5 that all airlines are now operational, however, there are several flights and cancellations, so passengers need to reach out to their airline on flight status
Denver International Airport:
DIA posted on the social media site X just after 4:15 a.m. saying economy parking lots experienced issues with dispensing tickets and the lots were closed. But garages remained open. The economy lots reopened around an hour later. By 5:45 a.m., travelers looking at the departures page on DIA's website, still saw nothing updated to reflect delays — possibly due to the tech issues.
Due to third party technical issues, various airlines are impacted. Please check with your carrier before leaving for DEN. Economy lots are experiencing ticket dispensing issues and are currently closed. Garages remain open. Updates to follow.
