An apparent cyberattack disrupted internet, phones, email, and other systems at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for a third day on Monday as Port of Seattle officials worked to investigate the outages and restore full service.

The hack has primarily impacted the airport’s internal system that serves so-called “common use gates” that are shared spaces used by international and smaller carriers. Spokesperson Perry Cooper said Alaska and Delta, which operate 75% of all flights at the airport, are not affected in the same way.

The airport posted on X at 5:34 p.m. Monday that they're temporarily posting updates on a new website.
