United Airlines, United Airlines, temporarily stopped departure at airports across the US and Canada on Wednesday morning (September 24) after requesting the federal air management (FAA) to impose a ground stop due to a technological problem.
The pause lasted less than an hour and the operation has since returned to normal.
The airline said that just before the midnight central time, it experienced a “brief problem with connectivity”, which caused temporary suspension. The united flights were restored shortly thereafter and no further disturbances were reported.
This means the second such incident in less than two months. At the beginning of August, a similar technological defect caused flights at the main airports in the US, including Newark, Denver, Houston and Chicago, which caused a widespread delay. At that time, the airline described disruptions as a “technological problem” that took several hours to solve. According to United, this problem stemmed from its unified system, which manages key flight information. This data feeds on other key systems, including those responsible for calculating weight and balance and tracking flights.
After the middle stop of the ground stop, United Airlines reported no ongoing operational problems.
