Due to a systemic issue, United Airlines cancelled many departures on Wednesday, causing thousands of US passengers to experience delays. It was more than an hour before engineers were able to restart so-called “mainline flights” that were traveling between key hubs.
Following a technical issue on Wednesday night, we are assisting passengers in reaching their destinations,” the airline stated in a statement. Our staff is striving to resume our regular operations now that the underlying technological issue has been fixed, albeit we anticipate some lasting delays.
At several key airports, the Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees aviation in the US, has ordered ground pauses. We are aware that a technological issue disrupted United’s operations. As they progress through the recovery procedure, some delays could persist,” the FAA stated in a statement.
We’ve been in regular communication with United and provided our full support to help them clear their flight backlog. According to the FAA’s website, the directives only applied to United and had an impact on airports in Denver, Newark, Houston, and Chicago.
