JetBlue Flights Delayed, Website Down Due To Data Center Power Outage
BOSTON (CBS) – Several JetBlue flights across the country were delayed Thursday because of a "data center power outage."
Flights were not grounded, according to the airline, but the issue created problems with accessing JetBlue's website and passengers were having trouble getting their boarding passes at several airports, including Logan Airport in Boston.
We're experiencing intermittent network issues due to a data center power outage. We're working to resolve & should be restored shortly.

I will say @JetBlue, the BOS ticket and ground crew seem to be handling things as best they can.
