NEW YORK, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — U.S. carrier United Airlines resumed operations late Wednesday, hours after a major computer system failure forced the company to suspend flights nationwide.
“The underlying technical issue has been resolved, and while we expect some delays to continue, our team is working to restore normal service,” the corporation said in a statement.
The company added that the problem was related to a system that stores information about each flight and then feeds it into other systems, including those that calculate weight and balance and track flight time.
United Airlines did not say in a statement what caused the outage.
The disruption, which began just after 6 p.m. ET, led to the grounding of flights at several major airports, including Chicago, Houston, Denver, Newark and San Francisco, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
As of 10:25 p.m. ET on Wednesday, 1,038 of the company's flights were delayed, or 34 percent of its total, FlightAware shows.
United Airlines is not the first U.S. carrier to suffer from technical problems. Delta Airlines has canceled hundreds of flights in the summer of 2024 due to a major glitch caused by a software update error. –0–
