    A “possible cyberattack” led to a series of delays at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) as the Port of Seattle dealt with an “internet and web systems outage” Saturday.

    In a statement, the international airport announced that the outages began on Saturday morning, which stemmed from a “possible cyberattack” at the Port of Seattle.

    “Earlier this morning, the Port of Seattle experienced certain system outages indicating a possible cyberattack,” authorities said. “The Port isolated critical systems and is in the process of working to restore full service.”

    On Saturday, as of 8 p.m. ET, 247 flights had been delayed and six had been canceled at the airport, according to FlightAware.

    The airport noted that it does not have an estimated time for returning to full operational capacity, but is working with authorities and partners to help travelers whose itineraries were impacted by the outage.
