JetBlue is delaying flights after a power outage disrupted the company's network.

The company's website is also down.

The airline's customers have taken to Twitter to complain about delays, and JetBlue's responded by explaining that "we're experiencing intermittent network issues due to a data center power outage."


Business Insider spoke to a traveler whose flight was delayed as a result of the outage. This person said JetBlue staff at New York's LaGuardia airport said booking systems were impacted and no flights were departing. 

The staff, at the departure gate, are telling passengers that there's no timeline for departures. 




JetBlue's shares weren't impacted by news of the outage. The stock was up 2.7 percent on Thursday, amid a broad rally in U.S. stock markets. 

We've reached out to JetBlue for more details and will update this story as soon as we hear back.
