MONTREAL — ********** says it has resolved a computer issue that caused problems at airports that resulted in some flight delays.

The Montreal-based ******* had warned in a travel advisory that it was having trouble with completing bookings and passenger check-ins.

Details of the outage weren’t immediately available.

Several ********** flights departing from its hub at Pearson International Airport in Toronto and Montreal’s Trudeau International Airport were cancelled.

On its website, the ******* said some of the flights were affected by adverse weather including freezing rain.

The ******* has been fielding complaints on Twitter from passengers who missed flights due to the outage.

“We are now working to get our customers on their way quickly,” ******* spokeswoman Isabelle Arthur wrote in an email.

“We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate our customers’ patience.”

The troubles come days after Toronto-based Porter Airlines experienced a computer outage that saw forced a 2.5-hour ground stop Saturday.

Five Porter flights were cancelled and about 400 passengers had to alter their travel plans.
