Local impacts due to the global technology outage

Colorado Springs Airport:
The global technology outage grounded some flights at the Colorado Springs Airport Friday morning. The airport spokesperson tells News 5 that all airlines are now operational, however, there are several flights and cancellations, so passengers need to reach out to their airline on flight status

Denver International Airport:
DIA posted on the social media site X just after 4:15 a.m. saying economy parking lots experienced issues with dispensing tickets and the lots were closed. But garages remained open. The economy lots reopened around an hour later. By 5:45 a.m., travelers looking at the departures page on DIA's website, still saw nothing updated to reflect delays — possibly due to the tech issues.

First responders:
The Colorado Springs Police Department and the Colorado Springs Fire Department are responding in their normal manner as of 1:56 p.m.

Fremont County:
911 services are working correctly.

Pueblo County:
911 services are working correctly.

Children's Hospital Colorado:
Children’s Hospital Colorado is not feeling an immediate impact as of yet. Common Spirit tells News5 they are not experiencing any significant outages and they are in close contact with IT and watching for updates. UCHealth says everything is running normally. If you have an appointment this morning double check everything is scheduled.

This article will continue to be updated as we reach out to more agencies and services.
