Alaska Airlines and its Horizon Air affiliate said Sunday they have resolved a computer outage that led to the cancellation of 150 flights a day earlier, disrupting travel plans for more than 12,000 passengers.

The company said in a statement that most of its flights are now operating on time, though about a dozen have been delayed due to crew scheduling issues. The company recommends passengers check their flight's status online or by calling 1-800-ALASKAAIR .

Passengers are boarding the next available flights at no charge, and in some cases are flying with other airlines, the company said.

"On behalf of the 13,000 Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air employees, I offer my profound apology to customers inconvenienced by this disruption," said Alaska Airlines President Brad Tilden in a statement.
