“The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday it issued a ground stop for United Airlines (UAL.O), flights at several U.S. airports while the company itself said its teams were working to resolve a tech outage as soon as possible,” Reuters reported.
‘Due to a technology issue, we are holding United mainline flights at their departure airports. We expect additional flight delays this evening as we work through this issue. Safety is our top priority, and we’ll work with our customers to get them to their destinations,’ United Airlines said in a statement to The Daily Mail.
CBS News reported:
There is a ground stop for United Airlines flights at Chicago O’Hare Airport Wednesday evening.
United said in a statement that a “technology issue” is causing them to hold departures.
“We expect additional flight delays this evening as we work through this issue. Safety is our top priority, and we’ll work with our customers to get them to their destinations,” the statement continued.
The technical issues are also impacting airports in Denver, Houston, San Francisco and Newark.
Video taken by a passenger at O’Hare shows a line of United planes stopped on the tarmac that have recently landed, waiting because no gates are available.
