		</div><p>Southwest Airlines planes were stopped from taking off nationwide in the US for what the airline called an intermittent technology issue, causing more than 1,500 flight delays on Tuesday.</p>
<p>It came four months after the carrier suffered delays over the Christmas travel rush.</p>
<p>Southwest and the Federal Aviation Administration said by late morning on the East Coast that the pause had been lifted.</p>
<p>“Southwest has resumed operations after temporarily pausing flight activity this morning to work through data connection issues resulting from a firewall failure,” the Dallas airline said in a statement.</p>
<p>“Early this morning, a vendor-supplied firewall went down and connection to some operational data was unexpectedly lost.”</p>
<p>By late morning on the East Coast, Southwest accounted for well over half of all delays nationwide, but the airline had cancelled fewer than a dozen flights, according to FlightAware.</p>
<p>In December, Southwest cancelled nearly 17,000 flights over the Christmas holiday due to bad weather and its crew-scheduling system becoming overwhelmed.</p>
<p>Those cancellations cost the airline more than a billion dollars (£0.8 billion) and are being investigated by the US Transportation Department.</p>
