DENVER — Multiple 9NEWS viewers and people on Twitter from across the country said their Southwest Airlines flights were experiencing delays on Monday evening – and photos showed that some planes were parked on the tarmac at Denver International Airport.

A DIA spokesperson said "we are aware that Southwest Airlines is currently experiencing computer issues that are causing flight delays," and recommended reaching out to the company itself.

> The video above is from a previous 9NEWS story about the return of air travel after it was virtually grounded during the COVID-19 pandemic.

FlightAware.com, which tracks airlines across the country, reported 61 delays at DIA as of around 8:45 p.m. Monday. Dozens of other delays were also reported at the airports in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco.

Southwest has not responded to a 9NEWS request for comment. On Twitter, the airline told one traveler it is experiencing a "system error" and apologized for delays.
