United Airlines Lifts Brief Ground Stop After Tech Issue Prompts FAA Halt
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – United Airlines ended a short-lived ground stop on Wednesday after requesting the FAA to pause departures at US and Canadian airports due to a technological issue.
United, which grounded its flights for less than an hour, said it experienced a brief connectivity issue just before midnight Central time on Tuesday, but has since resumed normal operations, Reuters reported.
In August, a glitch forced United Airlines to ground flights across major US airports including Newark, Denver, Houston and Chicago, causing widespread delays throughout its network. The outage was resolved within a few hours.
