Cyber attack forces airline to cancel flights in Alaska.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- RavnAir canceled at least a half-dozen flights in Alaska on Saturday — at the peak of holiday travel — following what the company described as “a malicious cyber attack” on its computer network.The regional carrier canceled all flights involving its Dash 8 aircraft until noon"because the cyber attack forced us to disconnect our Dash 8 maintenance system and its back-up,” the company said in a written statement.

The company is working with the FBI, other authorities, and a cyber security company, to restore systems. RavnAir Alaska later announced that it will operate a normal afternoon schedule on its Dash-8 flights. “We will be trying to add flights where we can over the next two days,” the company said in a statement released at 1 p.m. “We have, where possible, re-booked passengers on other flights.”

PenAir flights and RavnAir Connect flights were still operating normally on back-up systems, Reinwand said.This story has been updated based on new information from the airline that about a half-dozen flights, not a dozen, were canceled.
