United Airlines said it has ended a nationwide ground stop after a systemwide technology issue on Tuesday forced it to hold all aircraft at departure airports.
“We have identified a fix for the technology issue and flights have resumed. We’re working with impacted customers to help them reach their destinations as soon as possible,” the airline said on X.
FlightAware, a flight tracking website, said United Airlines had cancelled seven flights and delayed 260 flights or 9 per cent of its flights on Tuesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said earlier it had issued the ground stop at United Airlines’s request.
Airline ground stops because of computer issues are uncommon but not unprecedented. In April, Southwest Airlines said a technology failure caused a one-hour nationwide stoppage of its flights.
