Air Canada says a computer issue is causing problems at airports and resulting in some flight delays and cancellations.

The Montreal-based airline warned in a travel advisory that it may not be possible to complete bookings or passenger check-ins.

Details of the outage weren't immediately available.

Spokeswoman Isabelle Arthur says the problem is affecting airport, online and mobile check-in.

Several Air Canada flights departing from its hub at Pearson International Airport in Toronto and Montreal's Trudeau International Airport were cancelled.

Air Canada says it's working to resolve the issue and apologized for any inconvenience.

The airline has been fielding complaints on Twitter from passengers who missed flights due to the outage.

"We're very sorry that you missed your flight on account of our outage," one passenger was told.
