The Port of Seattle confirmed it had 'isolated critical systems and is in the process of working to restore full service and do not have an estimated time for return.' As the disruptions persisted, the airport urged travelers to check in early and give themselves ample time to reach their gates, with reports of significant delays and long lines due to multiple airlines issuing tickets manually, impacting 'thousands' of travelers.
Lance Lyttle, aviation managing director, emphasized the seriousness of the situation by stating, 'We are conducting a thorough investigation with the assistance of outside experts.' He noted, 'We have contacted and are working closely with federal partners, including TSA and Customs and Border Protection,' indicating a coordinated response to this potential cyber incident.
